Synopsis: 2.6.32-042stab120.5 can now be patched using Ksplice
CVEs: CVE-2016-5195
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, 2.6.32-042stab120.5.
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
* Improved fix to CVE-2016-5195: Privilege escalation when handling private mapping copy-on-write.
The original vendor fix for CVE-2016-5195 could result in a hang when
migrating and restoring a container.
