DESCRIPTION
* CVE-2018-14634: Privilege escalation in ELF executables.
An integer overflow in the argument setup for a new ELF executable could
result in attacker controlled corruption of the user stack when
executing a SUID binary. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw
to gain superuser privileges.
Ksplice will not be providing a zero-downtime update for CVE-2018-5391,
customers needing mitigation against this vulnerability should reboot
into the latest kernel release.
