Synopsis: 2.6.32-573.8.1.el6 can now be patched using Ksplice

Systems running RHCK on Oracle Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6,
CentOS 6, and Scientific Linux 6 can now use Ksplice to patch against
the latest Red Hat kernel update, 2.6.32-573.8.1.el6.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on OL 6, RHEL 6, CentOS
6, and Scientific Linux 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

* Remote denial-of-service in Brocade Ethernet driver.

The Brocade Ethernet driver was failing to account erroneous packets
received, causing endless interrupts.  A remote attacker use this flaw to
trigger these never ending interrupts.

SUPPORT

Ksplice support is available at ksplice-support_ww at oracle.com.
