This guide explains how to find out the version of the operating system of the server for your Web Hosting.

Preamble

• Even if Debian or a package does not appear to be up to date, the displayed data/information (component names and versions) are not subject to vulnerabilities or other security flaws:
  • Infomaniak keeps all these elements up to date and secures the components regularly through active maintenance of all components and operating systems used (internal patches).
  • Infomaniak selects a particular version for stability reasons and then applies patches or various countermeasures that these tests do not account for.
• If you or one of your clients detect a vulnerability in our tools/products, submit a Proof of Concept (POC) to demonstrate/point out the vulnerability; in these rare but not impossible cases (no security is infallible) Infomaniak will intervene as quickly as possible to correct the issue.
  • Note that since data security is the user's responsibility, Infomaniak cannot be held responsible for any issues arising from poor management and/or misuse of the user's login and access data.
