We are aware of the recent Intel CPU vulnerabilities and are closely following the situation to prepare a response as soon as possible. Host node reboots will likely be involved. We will try to give everyone notice, but this is an evolving situation.

Update 2:
OpenVZ has released an updated kernel. We are applying it now and sending an email regarding reboots for later today.

Update:
An email is going out to all KVM customers. We will be rebooting KVM hosts beginning at 4 PM eastern (GMT -5) today. You will also need to update and reboot your VPSs to apply relevant security patches within your OS.
Shared hosting customers will also experience a reboot during this window.
OpenVZ customers will receive an email regarding reboots once a patch is available.
