Users with Oracle Linux Premier Support can now use Ksplice to patch
against this Security Advisory.
We recommend that all users of Oracle Linux 5 install these updates.
Users of Ksplice Uptrack can install these updates by running :
# /usr/sbin/uptrack-upgrade -y
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 additional action.
Description of changes:
* FPU corruption in page fault handling.
An error in the FPU state management when handling page faults could
result in corruption of the XMM registers for the user application.
