In regard to the check command mentioned in Unscheduled TSR 10 August 2021

I've updated my servers to 11.96.0.15 , but when I run the command:

rpm -q --changelog cpanel-perl-532-encode | grep "Encode 3.12"

There is no output. Just looks like this (but of course with the actual hostname of each server)

root@hostname [~]# rpm -q --changelog cpanel-perl-532-encode | grep "Encode 3.12"
root@hostname [~]#

Should I be worried?

Running cPanel/WHM 11.96.0.15 , CloudLinux 6.10 ELS

Thanks for any feedback.

Hello there

A vulnerability was published in cpanel announcements, it was suggested to upgrade the cpanel version to fix the vulnerability. It is said that this vulnerability has been fixed in version 11.96.0.15.


I updated the cpanel version to 11.96.0.15 but when I ran the below command to check it gave no results.

Code:
[root@server5 ~]# rpm -q --changelog cpanel-perl-532-encode | grep "Encode 3.12"
[root@server5 ~]#

Update - it looks like this is just a case-sensitivity issue as v96 is "E" and v98 is "e" - here's a new command for v96:

Code:
rpm -q --changelog cpanel-perl-532-Encode | grep "Encode 3.12"
while this will work for v98

Code:
rpm -q --changelog cpanel-perl-532-encode | grep "Encode 3.12"

Thanks very much @cPRex

rpm -q --changelog cpanel-perl-532-Encode | grep "Encode 3.12" works :)
