these updates.

On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf,

Alternatively, you can install these updates by running:

DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2018-14634: Privilege escalation in ELF executables.

An integer overflow in the argument setup for a new ELF executable could
result in attacker controlled corruption of the user stack when
executing a SUID binary.  A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw
to gain superuser privileges.


Ksplice will not be providing a zero-downtime update for CVE-2018-5391,
customers needing mitigation against this vulnerability should
reboot into the latest kernel release.
