Fix of KernelCare patches for CentOS 7 Plus, CloudLinux 6 Hybrid, Proxmox VE 3.10, RHEL 7

[Irina Semenova]

Dear Customers,

There was a problem with patches with a fix for Meltdown for above-mentioned distributions. KernelCare patches could crash system on load due to incorrect handling of non-present memory regions.

Now the fixes are ready and could be applied.

Systems with AUTO_UPDATE=True (DEFAULT) in /etc/sysconfig/kcare/kcare.conf will automatically update, and no action is needed for them.

You can manually update the server by running:

# /usr/bin/kcarectl --update
