Security Advisor alerts kernel 6.5.0-1017-aws not up to date and suggests older update (5.15.0-1057-63.amd64)
Hi cPanel support,
I noticed that WHM Security Advisor alerts:
The system kernel is at version “6.5.0-1017-aws”, but an update is available: 5.15.0-1057-63.amd64
Update the system (run “apt -y upgrade” on the command line), and reboot the system.
Despite 6.5.0-1017-aws is the latest kernel for the official Ubuntu 22.04 LTS image, while 5.15 kernel is not provided by AWS by default.
Any suggestion on how to resolve this issue? I don't really want to disable Security Advisor alerts altogether just for this one alert.
Thank you,
Bill

Hi CPRex
Has there been a fix or workaround for this bug/glitch where cPanel advisor suggests to downgrade the kernel?
We have been receiving a similar notification when using a server at GCP. We are on Ubuntu 22, using kernel 6.5.0-1023-gcp but advisor suggests "updating" it to 5.15.0-1064-72.amd64.

I haven't heard anything more on my end since the original poster in this thread didn't reply, so I don't think we got a ticket. Could you submit one so we can check that out?

I sent in the ticket# 95247524 for this issue back then and was told it's a known issue: https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/14228817693847-Security-advisor-recommends-lower-kernel-version-for-some-Ubuntu-Kernels
Seems it's not going to be fixed but rather just to be ignored.

Thanks for sharing that - I did add this Forums conversation to that case.
