There is a new root exploit making rounds that affects CloudLinux 6/CentOS 6/RHEL 6 systems (CloudLinux 5 is not affected, but CloudLinux 5 hybrid is).

There is a thread with example exploit on centos.org: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=42827&forum=59

New kernel fixes the above mentioned problem, and everyone is highly recommended to upgrade.

We want to collect the data about hardware and software configuration of servers used for shared hosting. The information that we collect:
hardware configuration, installed software, version of control panel, number of accounts, domains and mail users, partitioning information, amount of free memory, load averages, etc... The script should take about 2-3 minutes to collect all the data. We also ask you to submit your email address for a chance to win $100 Amazon gift card. We will contact the winner using that email.  We will consider each submission (from a different server) as a separate entry, so the more servers you run this script on - the more chances you have to win. If you don’t want to participate in the giveaway, leave your email blank. The submissions will be accepted until May 15, 2013


If you would like to participate in the surve execute one of the following command on your shared hosting server (CloudLinux, CentOS or RHEL, any control panels, including custom) as root:

If you have wget installed:
$ wget -qq -O clinfo.sh http://www.cloudlinux.com/clinfo/clinfo.sh; bash clinfo.sh


If you have curl installed: 
$ curl -o clinfo.sh -s http://www.cloudlinux.com/clinfo/clinfo.sh; bash clinfo.sh

Customizing php.ini settings

I know that  it sounds like delayed April 1st joke for most of you, but due to requests from quite a few people we have decided to package PHP 4.4.9 for PHP Selector. It is available only for CloudLinux 5.x, though support for CloudLinux 6.x might come soon.

This version bundles modest number of modules:
bcmath bz2 calendar ctype curl dba dbase dbx domxml exif fileinfo ftp gd gettext gmp iconv imap json ldap mbstring mcrypt mhash mysql ncurses odbc overload pcntl pcre pgsql posix pspell recode session shmop snmp sockets standard sysvmsg sysvsem sysvshm tokenizer wddx xml xmlrpc 

It also hasn't been updated since Aug 2008, and provides your customers with a perfect way to create easily hackable websites.

To install (CL5 Only):
$ yum install alt-php44* --enablerepo=cloudlinux-updates-testing
