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,

DESCRIPTION

* Remote denial-of-service in Brocade Ethernet driver.

The Brocade Ethernet driver was failing to account erroneous packets
received, causing endless interrupts.  A remote attacker use this flaw to
trigger these never ending interrupts.


* Improved fix to CVE-2015-7872: Denial-of-service when garbage collecting uninstantiated keyring.

A logic error in the security keyring subsystem leads to a kernel crash
when garbage collecting a un-instantiated keyring.  A local, un-privileged
user can use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service.


* CVE-2015-7613: Privilege escalation in IPC object initialization.

Incorrect initialization of IPC objects could result in memory
corruption when creating message queues or shared memory.  A local,
unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate privileges.
