Synopsis: 2.6.32-042stab055.16 can now be patched using Ksplice
CVEs:
Systems running Virtuozzo 4.7 or the OpenVZ RHEL 6 kernel can now use
Ksplice to patch against the latest Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.7
kernel security update, 2.6.32-042stab055.16.
INSTALLING THE UPDATES
We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on Virtuozzo 4.7 or
OpenVZ on RHEL 6 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
* Incorrect access restrictions to character devices.
The whitelist of character devices that a VE instance could access was
not complete and could allow a VE user to access the watchdog device and
reboot the host.
SUPPORT
Ksplice support is available at ksplice-support_ww at oracle.com.
