[El-errata] New updates available via Ksplice (ELBA-2013-2591)

[Errata Announcements for Oracle Linux]

Synopsis: ELBA-2013-2591 can now be patched using Ksplice

Users with Oracle Linux Premier Support can now use Ksplice to patch
against the latest Oracle kernel update, ELBA-2013-2591.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on EL 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 NumVFs reporting in PCI I/O Single Root Virtualization support.

Incorrect handling of the NUM_VM SRIOV register during initialization
and enabling could result in incorrect reporting of the number of
virtual functions.

SUPPORT

Ksplice support is available at ksplice-support_ww at oracle.com.
