Intersect urged Cardano stake pool operators to install a fixed Linux kernel to address a critical vulnerability rated 9.8 on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), once their distribution releases a patch.

Patch status varied by distribution on Oct. 30. Ubuntu fixes remained in progress. AlmaLinux had patched kernels in its testing repository.

Intersect's instruction is to install the fixed kernel after a distribution makes it available. Operators' next step depends on their distribution releasing the patch.
