Synopsis: 4.11.3-202.fc25 can now be patched using Ksplice

Systems running Fedora 25 can now use Ksplice to patch against the
latest Fedora kernel update, 4.11.3-202.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

* Race condition in Intel i915 page management causes denial-of-service.

Incorrect accounting of pagetables in the Intel i915 graphics driver
could cause the pagetables to be inappropriately accessed, causing a
kernel panic and denial-of-service.


* Incorrect IPv6 DSCP header logic causes potential denial-of-service.

Incorrectly generating the differentiated service field of an IPv6
packet header could cause a denial-of-service, or potentially leak
information.

SUPPORT

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