Updates to patch the vulnerabilities require updating the operating system and rebooting the nodes. For compute nodes, this is typically done in a rolling fashion, resulting in nodes being unavailable for a short period of time. This may impair the scheduling of large jobs, but typically goes unnoticed by users. Some nodes, such as login nodes and cloud hosts will however see a short interruption of service. | Updates to patch the vulnerabilities require updating the operating system and rebooting the nodes.
