INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on OL 5, 6 and 7 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

* Kernel hang on UDP flood with wrong checksums.

A flaw in the UDP handling of wrong checksums could lead to a kernel hang
under a UDP flood attack.  A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a
denial-of-service.
