Sites should take notice of two middleware issues:
- upgrading to openldap-servers-2.4.40-5 (included in SLC6.7/CentOS 6.7) seems to cause slapd processes to crash, possibly affecting all BDII installations (resource/site/top). While the issue is under investigation, we suggest sites not to upgrade to this version of openLDAP.
- a dCache vulnerability was broadcasted today by EGI SVG. (https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/SVG:Advisory-SVG-2015-9323). It affects gsi and kerberos ftp doors. All versions of dCache prior to 2.13.7, 2.12.19, 2.11.30 and 2.10.39 are affected. The baselines for dCache have been upgraded and sites are suggested to upgrade to the latest versions containing the fix.

The next meeting will be on Thursday, August 27.

Regards,

Andrea
