Security Advisor - Kernel Is Out Of Date

Can the Security Advisor check for the existence of Ksplice and check version against uptrack-uname -r instead of just uname -r ...


So in our case we do have an outdated kernel loaded...


[root@cp3 ~]# uname -r

2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64


but checking the effective kernel version shows that it is the latest...


[root@cp3 ~]# uptrack-uname -r

2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64


Should be a quick, if then else check ...

While on the topic, it should also check for/against KernelCare (kcare-uname -r)
