CVEs: CVE-2022-27666

Systems running RHCK on Oracle Linux 8 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
can now use Ksplice to patch against the latest Red Hat kernel update,

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running OL 8 and RHEL 8
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

kernel heap objects and cause privilege escalation.
