Systems running Fedora 29 can now use Ksplice to patch against the
latest Fedora kernel update, FEDORA-2018-2645eb8dab.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running Fedora 29
install these updates.

On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf,

take any action.

Alternatively, you can install these updates by running:

# /usr/sbin/uptrack-upgrade -y


DESCRIPTION

* Denial-of-service in the BATMAN advanced meshing protocol.

When receiving unicast packet in the BATMAN meshing protocol, a fragment
merge operation triggers a kernel BUG. This could lead to a
denial-of-service.


* Denial-of-service when handling page request in Intel VT-d subsystem.

Incorrect error handling in the Intel VT-d subsystem when handling page
request leads to a NULL pointer dereference. This could be exploited to
cause a denial-of-service.


* CVE-2018-14625: Kernel information leak when releasing a vsock.

A use-after-free bug when releasing an AF_VSOCK socket may allow an
attacker to read kernel memory from inside VM guest. This could be
exploited to leak privileged information and possibly impersonate
AF_VSOCK messages destined to other clients.
