Linux core team said it was a non-problem and the issue remains in the kernel found in CentOS-6.8. Possibly the one in 7. Perhaps it is still present in the development branch. However, all I am seeking is knowledge on how to handle this using iptables. I am sure that this defect/anomaly has already been solved wherever it is an issue. Does anyone have an example on how to do this? -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.

haproxy + Apache + virtual hosts -> wrong host is displayed
by Alexander Farber 24 Jun '16

Hello, I hope my question is not off-topic here. On CentOS 7.2.1511 I have installed: haproxy-1.5.14-3.el7.x86_64 httpd-2.4.6-40.el7.centos.1.x86_64 The /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg binds HAProxy to ports 80 and 443 and accepts HTTPS to slova.de: defaults mode http option http-server-close option forwardfor except 127.0.0.0/8 option redispatch .... frontend public bind 144.76.184.151:80 bind 144.76.184.151:443 ssl crt /etc/pki/tls/certs/slova.de.pem reqidel ^X-Forwarded-Proto: reqidel ^X-Forwarded-For: reqadd X-Forwarded-Proto:\ https if { ssl_fc } option forwardfor default_backend apache backend apache server domain 127.0.0.1:8080 The /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf binds Apache to port 8080 and serves several Wordpress sites: Listen 127.0.0.1:8080 ServerName 144.76.184.151 <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080> DocumentRoot /var/www/html/afarber.de ServerName afarber.de ErrorLog logs/afarber.de/error_log CustomLog logs/afarber.de/access_log common </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080> DocumentRoot /var/www/html/ruhrgebietsingle.de ServerName ruhrgebietsingle.de ErrorLog logs/ruhrgebietsingle.de/error_log CustomLog logs/ruhrgebietsingle.de/access_log common </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080> DocumentRoot /var/www/html/bukvy.de ServerName bukvy.de ErrorLog logs/bukvy.de/error_log CustomLog logs/bukvy.de/access_log common </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080> DocumentRoot /var/www/html/slova.de ServerName slova.de ErrorLog logs/slova.de/error_log CustomLog logs/slova.de/access_log common </VirtualHost> When I open http://slova.de or https://www.slova.de they work fine.

What tool would help here to debug? Thank you Alex

UDP Constant IP Identification Field Fingerprinting Vulnerability
by James B. Byrne 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

We received a notice from our pci-dss auditors respecting this: CVE-2002-0510 The UDP implementation in Linux 2.4.x kernels keeps the IP Identification field at 0 for all non-fragmented packets, which could allow remote attackers to determine that a target system is running Linux. The NVD entry for which contains this note: CHANGE> [Cox changed vote from REVIEWING to NOOP] Cox> So I asked some kernel guys about this - it's not considered an issue. There are several other ways to identify Linux on the wire and people who care about this kind of thing rewrite their packets in various ways via firewall technology to trick the identifier programs. So, what packet mangling may be done in iptables to solve this without breaking udp transmission? I take it that we are talking about something in the prerouting chain but what kind of mangelling is safe? Is there an example somewhere? -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.

CPU Compatibility Question
by listmail 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hi All, Hopefully someone with broad overview of CentOS compatibility issues can comment on this: I am evaluating a Supermicro X10SLM motherboard with an Intel E3-1231 v3 CPU. Testing with boots from Live DVDs, the CentOS 6.x family is panicking at boot time. I have tried 6.8, 6.5, and 6.3, and each one panics at slightly different points, but they all seem to fail after udev starts up (or tries to). On the other hand, I was able to boot CentOS 7.0 1511 from the Live CD. According to the compatibility chart over here: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/intel ...anything later than 6.3 (6.4 and up) should work with the E3-12xx v3 family of processors. But those are not the results I am seeing. Does anyone have experience or commentary on this compatibility issue? Thanks, --Bill

Ovirt migration
by Andrew Dent 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hi We have a Single box running Ovirt 3.5.6.2-1 + CentOS7. The Engine, VDSM Host and the Storage is all on the Single box, which contains 2 * RAID1 arrays. We are looking to purchase a second box, and I'm wondering if someone can please help me to understand of how best to migrate to a HA environment using both boxes. We do have some additional NFS storage on the network that we can temporarily move VMs to. Is it possible to migrate our current Ovirt setup to be HA using Gluster, or would we need to start again by exporting all VMs, wipe box one and reinstall CentOS & Ovirt, then install CentOS and Ovirt on box two. I'd like to move the Engine to be hosted in a VM as well. Can we do HA without Gluster? Pros/Cons.... Regards Andrew Dent

KVM HA
by Tom Robinson 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hi, I have two KVM hosts (CentOS 7) and would like them to operate as High Availability servers, automatically migrating guests when one of the hosts goes down. My question is: Is this even possible? All the documentation for HA that I've found appears to not do this. Am I missing something? My configuration so fare includes: * SAN Storage Volumes for raw device mappings for guest vms (single volume per guest). * multipathing of iSCSI and Infiniband paths to raw devices * live migration of guests works * a cluster configuration (pcs, corosync, pacemaker) Currently when I migrate a guest, I can all too easily start it up on both hosts! There must be some way to fence these off but I'm just not sure how to do this. Any help is appreciated.
