[zanata-users] SySops patching against the Meltdown vulnerability 12-13th Jan 2018

[Marc Raaz]

Hi

Over the weekend, SysOps updated our systems to patch against the
Meltdown vulnerability.
We managed to patch over 250 systems.

SysOps will continue to monitor these systems, as of now all systems are
online and working as expected.

Please report any issues to pnthelp.redhat.com
