free Symlink Protection

[prmf06]

Hello, tried to install the free Symlink Protection but getting error-free patch type is unavailable for your kernel
I read somewhere in the cpanel forum that the symlink protector included with the purchased license.
My Q uestion is : how to remove the free kernel that was installed with the command - curl -s https://repo.cloudlinux.com/kernelca...are_install.sh | bash

$ rpm -q kernel

kernel-3.10.0-1160.el7.x86_64

kernel-3.10.0-962.3.2.lve1.5.42.el7.x86_64

This is the SSH installation log when tried to run the free symlink protection:

Hi,

Symlink protection is already there in CloudLinux OS kernel, so theres no free patches available for it.
You can find more information on symlink protection in CloudLinux OS here: https://docs.cloudlinux.com/cloudlin...l/#securelinks

Anyway, you can use KernelCare to patch your kernel for all other vulnerabilities provided you have a license for it.
