Synopsis: 4.10.6-200.fc25 can now be patched using Ksplice

Systems running Fedora 25 can now use Ksplice to patch against the
latest Fedora kernel update, 4.10.6-200.fc25.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running Fedora 25
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

* Denial-of-service in raid10 block I/O operation.

A race condition in raid10 driver results in a deadlock in the kernel. An
unprivileged local user can exploit this to cause denial-of-service.


* Denial-of-service when using perf subsystem in concurrent threads.

A locking error in release function of perf subsystem could lead to a
use-after-free.  A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a
denial-of-service.


* Denial-of-service during NFS exchange_id process.

A logic error after NFS exchange_id protocol could lead to a double
free. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service.

SUPPORT

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