[Oracle Ksplice]

Synopsis: 2.6.32-954.3.5.lve1.4.80.el6 can now be patched using Ksplice
CVEs: CVE-2017-6951

Systems running CloudLinux 6 can now use Ksplice to patch against the
latest CloudLinux 6 kernel update, 2.6.32-954.3.5.lve1.4.80.el6.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running CloudLinux 6
install these updates.

On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf,
these updates will be installed automatically and you do not need to
take any action.

Alternatively, you can install these updates by running:

# /usr/sbin/uptrack-upgrade -y


DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2017-6951: Denial-of-service from userspace via dead security keys.

Dead security keys were improperly assigned a type with name "dead",
which allowed them to be accessed by users with the
key_get_type_from_user() syscall, causing a kernel panic and
denial-of-service.
