Please watch this space for updates before and during the maintenance.

All Euler login nodes are patched and therefore the commands listed above work again. Only a subset of all compute nodes is patched yet. If you need to use one of the listed commands within a batch job, then you can use the bsub option -R suid and this will assure that your job is dispatched to a patched compute node.
