What this means under a SharedLicense license
Your SharedLicense license itself is not affected — this is a change in Imunify360 software, not in licensing. Update the product through its standard update channel. Licenses keep working through updates; nothing needs re-issuing or re-activating.
A kernel-level exploit bypass was discovered in Imunify360 active protection, reducing effectiveness of exploit detection on newer kernels.
