Synopsis: FEDORA-2018-64a4d60839 can now be patched using Ksplice
Systems running Fedora 29 can now use Ksplice to patch against the
latest Fedora kernel update, FEDORA-2018-64a4d60839.
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,
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
* Improved fix for Spectre v1: Bounds-check bypass in asynchronous I/O subsystem.
A missing sanitization of array index after bounds check in asynchronous
I/O subsystem could lead to an information leak. A local attacker
could use this flaw to leak information about running system.
* Checksum validation failure in AQtion ethernet controller.
A logic error during packet checksum verification in the AQtion
ethernet controller driver can lead to packets with bad checksums being
treated as valid packets. This could allow a remote attacker to trigger
unexpected behavior in the driver.
* Denial-of-service when closing an AF_VSOCK socket.
A memory leak when closing a socket from the VSOCK address family could
allow an unprivileged process to exhaust kernel memory and cause a
denial-of-service.
* Denial-of-service when sending NVMe packets over RDMA.
A use-after-free bug in the error path when sending NVMe packet over
RDMA fails could lead to uninitialized memory access and cause a
denial-of-service.
