Today I was notified to update my proxmox servers. When I did the update, I received this warning - and an email to my admin account...
smartmontools (6.4+svn4214-1) unstable; urgency=medium
Previous versions of the smartmontools package included a tool
update-smart-drivedb which downloaded updated drive definitions
from the smartmontools website and stored them at
/var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h
This tool did not download the definitions in a secure manner and
so the feature has been removed in this version. Future drive DB
updates will be propagated via normal Debian package updates,
including backports.
If you already have a drivedb.h file at that location, smartctl
will continue to use it.
Is this a concern? I have 3 proxmox servers running in HA, and didn't update the other two. A search of google and this forum didn't reveal anything useful.. (maybe i didn't search well?)
I am running Virtual Environment 4.3-3/557191d3
