• These instructions are intended specifically for checking the installed version of glibc.
• I’ll be working from a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 20 and Fedora 21 server, and I’ll be logged in as root.

A vulnerability found in the glibc library, specifically a flaw affecting the gethostbyname() and gethostbyname2() function calls, that allows a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code. CentOS 5, CentOS 6, and CentOS 7 are potentially affected, thus we want to highlight the following information.

The Apache web server is one of the most popular and powerful web servers in the world due to its ease of administration and flexibility. This flexibility comes Apache’s modular design, and allows for such features as: URL rewriting for SSL encryption natively, and Outlook Anywhere passthrough support in reverse proxy setups. Modularity allows Administrators to modify Apache to meet their needs; adding modules that are needed and removing ones that are not.

• These instructions are intended specifically for adding a user on Fedora 21.
• I’ll be working from a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 21 server, and I’ll be logged in as root.

A vulnerability found in the Linux kernel, specifically a flaw in fault handling associated with the Stack Segment (SS), allows an unprivileged user to potentially gain privileges. CentOS 4, CentOS 5, CentOS 6, and CentOS 7 are potentially affected, thus we want to highlight the following information.
