Hi guys,

I had to recompile qemu-kvm on CentOS7 to enable RBD and be able to use
CEPH.
Now, what is the best to update for venom vulnerability?
Has anyone already recompiled the patched sources and put it in a
repository, or the only way is to get the knew sources and recompile again ?
In http://vault.centos.org/ les sources don't seen to have been updated
yet, where will I find them to recompile if it is the way to go?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Cynthia
