SOLVED Security Advisor on CentOS7 with KernelCare has incorrect reboot message

[vlee]

After cPanel updated this showed up in Home »Security Center »Security Advisor

The system kernel is at version “3.10.0-862.el7”, but is set to boot to version “3.10.0-693.21.1.el7.x86_64”.You must take one of the following actions to ensure the system is up-to-date:

• Wait a few days for KernelCare to publish a kernel patch.
• Reboot the system.

I did a manual reboot and still show up.

I guess I have to wait for Kernel Care to update to 3.10.0-862.el7

Hello @vlee,

In this case, it looks like KernelCare has actually published the updated kernel before CentOS. This is resulting in Security Advisor detecting a mismatch between the installed kernel and the kernel configured at boot time and falsely reporting that a reboot is required. Internal case CPANEL-20239 was opened to report this issue. I'll monitor this case and update this thread with more information as it becomes available.

Thank you.

Thank you Michael for the status update.

I look forward to further updates on this Internal case CPANEL-20239

Hello,

To follow-up, this was fixed in cPanel & WHM version 76:

Fixed case CPANEL-20239: Fixed false reboot suggestion when KernelCare is running.

Thank you.
