[Labs-l] [Labs-announce] Labs instance security reboots on Thursday, 2016-02-18 at 18:00 UTC

[Andrew Bogott]

Hello!

Due to a security update in glibc, we need to reboot all labs instances 
and virt hosts. The updates are currently being installed on all 
instances and the reboots will start at 18:00 UTC (10 AM in California) 
on Thursday.

A reboot is needed since the updated glibc packages are only effective 
once all processes using glibc have been restarted, and virtually all 
processes use glibc.

If you're running a labs instance which for some reason should not be 
rebooted currently, please email me directly with the details. We will 
do our best to insulate toollabs jobs from this reboot, but some 
long-running jobs may need to be restarted by hand after the reboots.

-Andrew
