Hi all,
We meet issue with upgrade kernel to 957 version. It will cause several modules build failure, due to data structure/function api change in kernel.
here is the module list which has build issue with 957 kernel:
Mlnx-ofa_kernel
Intel-i40e
Intel-i40evf
Tpmdd
Intel-ixgbe
drbd
openvswitch

Another thing is based on info in below link, Redhat has an updated kernel srpm to fix this CVE issue for CentOS 7.5:
https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:3459
For this srpm kernel-3.10.0-862.20.2.el7.src.rpm, I cannot find it in CentOS repo, or online yet.
But I suppose CentOS should also have it soon?

So I suggest we fix this CVE issue in master with this 862 kernel after it is available.
And 957 kernel upgrade will be done as part of CentOS 7.6 upgrade in feature branch.
Thanks.
