Engine Yard Release Notes for February 25th, 2016
Hotfix: Engine Yard Gentoo 12.11 stack upgrade
Action: We recommend you test this hotfix in your staging environment as soon as possible; then, when that is validated, click the Upgrade button for your production environment.
Note: For clarity, since we now have 2 Gentoo stacks, we refer to this stack as the Engine Yard Gentoo 12.11 stack. You can access it by using the Stack select field in the Environment UI:
It's best practice to upgrade your Engine Yard Gentoo 12.11 (stable-v4) stack regularly for the latest security and product updates. This week's updates:
- Update to glibc to resolve vulnerability (CVE-2015-7547)
- NOTE: For this to take effect, you will need to restart processes that are still using the old version. The easiest way is to reboot your instances, if you can handle a short period of downtime. Please follow the instructions here to complete the changes:
- Wait for Upgrade to complete
- Schedule a time where a short duration of downtime can be tolerated
- Log into each instance and reboot: sudo shutdown -r now
- Wait for the instance to reboot and confirm your app is working
- If there are any issues after the reboot, click apply and re-deploy your app
- Open a support ticket if you need further assistance
- If you are sensitive to downtime, you can manually restart the processes listed in /tmp/processes_using_deleted_libraries on each instance, but this is only recommended if you are very familiar with Gentoo Linux.
