[Errata Announcements for Oracle Linux]

Synopsis: ELBA-2017-3593 can now be patched using Ksplice

Users with Oracle Linux Premier Support can now use Ksplice to patch
against the latest Oracle Linux Bug Fix Advisory, ELBA-2017-3593.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running UEKR4 4.1.12 on
OL6 and OL7 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 when bonding multiple IPOIB devices.

An incorrect header length initialization when bonding multiple
IP-over-InfiniBand (IPOIB) devices could lead to a kernel bug assertion.
A local attacker could create a bond device using IPOIB slaves to cause
a denial-of-service.

SUPPORT

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