[El-errata] New updates available via Ksplice (ELBA-2015-2025)

[Errata Announcements for Oracle Linux]

Synopsis: ELBA-2015-2025 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-2015-2025.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on EL 5 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

* Denial-of-service in utrace during executable loading.

A missing NULL pointer check in the utrace subsystem could result in a
NULL pointer dereference and kernel crash when loading a new binary.

SUPPORT

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