Hi Everyone,
I noticed IPfire 117 uses the 3.14 kernel:
# uname -r 3.14.79-ipfire-pae
I believe that was EOL about a year ago. It is not going to get the patches for the cpu bugs; and it has not gotten patches for many other vulnerabilities. Also see http://kroah.com/log/blog/2018/01/06/meltdown-status/ .
Are there plans to move to a 4.x kernel or other LTS kernel?
Thanks in advance,
Jeffrey Walton
