    Hey gang,

    I figured I'd ask just in case, but I assume this website is being hosted on Linux? If so, has the Kernel been updated to protect against the Dirty COW exploit? Probably want to do that as soon as possible.

    Cheers,

    Yep, it requires another vector of attack. But it's still something you'll want to look at regardless. Unless your running CentOS 5 or 6, in which case your immune.
