Identified

OSPool/PATh services are offline while we patch a serious Linux vulnerability.

Last evening, a serious Linux exploit was broadly published online. This exploit allows any user to easily obtain root (admin) access, bypassing standard security controls.

We pre-emptively shut down our systems this morning to protect our system and users. We are working to patch the vulnerability on our systems. OSPool/PATh services will remain offline through tomorrow (and possibly longer).

We will share more updates as the situation changes. We will provide the most up-to-date status of the system on our status page: https://status.osg-htc.org/incidents/lr3ntcjgjg8q
