Issue/Introduction

Does the 6.1.9 Linux sensor support RHEL (RedHat Enterprise Linux) 7.6 with kernel version 3.10.0-957.el7.x86_64?

Environment

  • CB Response Sensor: 6.1.9-lnx
  • Linux RedHat 7.6 OS
  • Kernel version:  3.10.0-957.el7.x86_64

Resolution

Yes, the 6.1.9 Linux sensor is officially supported on RHEL 7.6 with kernel version 3.10.0-957.el7.x86_64.

Additional Information

  • Official documentation will be updated to reflect this information.
  • Like 6.1.10 Linux sensor, 6.1.9 is also retpoline compiled, so any warning message that it is not should be benign.
Example: WARNING: module 'cbsensor' built without retpoline-enabled compiler, may affect Spectre v2 mitigation 
  • Whether or not a Linux module is retpoline enable can be verified by running the command "modingo <module>" and looking for "retpoline: Y".
