Synopsis:  FEDORA-2017-4537a2fbdc can now be patched using Ksplice

Systems running Fedora 25 can now use Ksplice to patch against the
latest Fedora kernel update,  FEDORA-2017-4537a2fbdc.

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

* Information leak via multiple disk (RAID/LVM) device ioctl.

Failing to initialize an unused data field in multiple device ioctls
could allow kernel stack information to be exposed to userspace.


* Data race when canceling timer file descriptors causes denial-of-service.

Missing serialization when canceling timer file descriptors could cause
the cancels to race, causing a data race or use-after-free, potentially
resulting in a kernel crash and denial-of-service.

SUPPORT

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