Hello,

There is currently a local root exploit in Centos 5:

rhn.redhat.com | Red Hat Support

If you are impacted, you should have received an email notice from us asking you to reply and authorize the best reboot time for your server to help minimize any loss from downtime required by the kernel upgrade. However, if you did not receive the email and you are sure you are running CentOS 5, please feel free to open up a ticket in the abuse and security department and we will be happy to update and schedule your reboot.
