      Thanks @gskger for the feedback. The update has been pushed on Wednesday evening and the blog post published yesterday: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2020/11/26/security-and-bugfix-update-cve/

      For XCP-ng 8.2, updates also include UEFI support fixes.

        @stormi thank you as well for regulary pushing out security updates and bugfixes 👍. Makes me feel comfortable to have a solid virtualization environment (even with a non-commercial homelab) 😁 .

            A reminder about this thread and what it's for.

            This is where we announce new update candidates for stable releases of XCP-ng, so that you can provide feedback before we push them to the updates repositories for everyone.

            For security-related updates, we usually need quick feedback.

            Anyone can test. Just:

            • Subscribe to this thread (and make sure to enable mail notifications in your forum settings)
            • Install the update candidates when we announce one (we usually provide the installation instructions)
            • Check that you don't spot any obvious regression. We're not asking that you do extensive QA of the updates for us, just that you can confirm that it works for you.

            See you in the next few days for a new batch of security updates 😉

              New security updates candidates

              Update candidates are ready for XCP-ng 8.1 and 8.2.

              Install them with:

              yum clean all --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
              yum update kernel xen-dom0-libs xen-dom0-tools xen-hypervisor xen-libs xen-tools xenopsd xenopsd-cli xenopsd-xc --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
              

              And reboot.
              Please install them and report to confirm that everything is still working as expected.

                  @stormi Same here. Updated my three host playlab (8.2.0 fully patched) with no problem. Starting, stopping, migrating (running/stopped) VMs, storage migration (local, shared SR), creating/snapshoting/deleting VMs (Linux only) worked as well as backup and restore (of one VM). Looks good.

                    @stormi I've updated my R620 running XCP-ng 8.2, and only issue I've observed thus far is the network slowdown that we've been discussing elsewhere.

                    I need to rebuild the kernel again without the one patch. Has there been any feedback / response from the Xen group?

                      @danp I haven't contacted them globally though I asked a developer individually for guidance on how to move on. My issue is: we do know that for some users there's a performance impact and it's related to the kernel updates, but the results of the tests don't reveal yet the exact updates or patches that are involved, or not for everyone (though the one you found looks definitely a good candidate to explain at least parts of the slowdown). And I want to see where @fohdeesha's attempt at helping everyone get better perfs will lead.

                      (but let's continue on the dedicated thread)

                        Thanks for all the tests. The security updates have been pushed: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2020/12/18/december-2020-security-updates/
