[Ksplice][Fedora-18-updates] New updates available via Ksplice (FEDORA-2013-8951)

[Sasha Levin]

Synopsis: FEDORA-2013-8951 can now be patched using Ksplice

Systems running Fedora 18 can now use Ksplice to patch against the
latest Fedora kernel update, FEDORA-2013-8951.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on Fedora 18 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

* Kernel OOPS on NFS recovery dir creation.

Invalid parameters passed to the recovery dir creation may case
a kernel OOPS.


* NULL pointer dereference on mapping of unaligned memory on shared memory.

Mapping of unaligned memory block on the shared memory file system would
case a NULL pointer dereference.


* Kernel panic due to MTU modifications in the ASIX driver.

Lowering the MTU on an ASIX network driver would cause a kernel
panic.
