Synopsis: 2.6.18-408.el5.028stab120.2 can now be patched using Ksplice
Systems running Virtuozzo 4 or the OpenVZ RHEL 5 kernel can now use
Ksplice to patch against the latest Parallels Virtuozzo Containers
kernel security update, 2.6.18-408.el5.028stab120.2.
INSTALLING THE UPDATES
We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on Virtuozzo 4 or
OpenVZ on RHEL 5 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 move_pages() system call.
Missing validation of the pid parameter to the move_pages() system call
could allow a malicious user to trigger a kernel panic, crashing the
system.
SUPPORT
Ksplice support is available at ksplice-support_ww at oracle.com.
