Kernel fork failure logging is not enabled

The ASL kernel contains security measures to detect if the fork() function has failed. This function is used to start up applications. This can be used to detect possible attempts to attack the system.

If you see this vulnerability it can only be caused if you are not running the ASL kernel.

Next Steps

Check to see if you are using the ASL kernel by going to this link.

If you are not running the ASL kernel:

Please check that you have the kernel installed and then reboot your system into the ASL kernel.

Note: If you have a VPS system, you will not have your own kernel. Please install ASL on the host server.
