As you may already be aware, two CPU related exploits were recently reported, dubbed Meltdown and Spectre (https://spectreattack.com). These affect not only our servers, but practically all machines that use Intel CPUs. As a countermeasure we need to apply the latest kernel updates to patch our systems from the critical underlying vulnerabilities. In order for the kernel updates to be applied we are required to restart our nodes, so we will be proceeding to emergency reboots tonight between 00:01 - 02:00 UTC.
