Our monitoring indicates that your site provides services that are running on Operating System and/or Middleware versions that have reached the end of their life cycles and therefore don't get security updates any more.
Consequently, if a critical vulnerability affecting this software is published it likely requires to immediately stop the affected servers/services and reinstall them with current software releases.
If you are running an LCG-CE on a platform derived from RHEL4 (CentOS4, SL*4), you have already been informed that suspension will ensue by October 1st. Of course if, for any service or the operating system, a serious vulnerability is found before that date suspension may be done even earlier!
To avoid major service availability disruptions we strongly advise sites to migrate away from the Operating System / gLite Releases listed in the Broadcasts send in February (RedHat) and April (gLite) 2012.
End of support for gLite-3.1 / gLite-3.2
