INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running UEKR6 5.4.17 on
OL7 and OL8 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

* Resource exhaustion in VFIO non-privileged userspace driver.

A logic error when using the VFIO Type1 IOMMU DMA mapping support could
lead to a memory leak, which can be observed by killing a QEMU instance
immediately during creation. A local attacker could use this flaw to
cause a denial-of-service.

Orabug: 37511007

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