Synopsis: DSA-3886-2 can now be patched using Ksplice
CVEs: CVE-2017-1000364
Systems running Debian 8.0 Jessie can now use Ksplice to patch against
the latest Debian Security Advisory, DSA-3886-2.
INSTALLING THE UPDATES
We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running Debian 8.0
Jessie 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
* Improved fix to CVE-2017-1000364 to allow stack expansion close to userspace guard.
Some userspace applications like the Java Virtual Machine are trying to
implement a stack guard area manually by using a fixed mapping which,
together with the original Debian fix for CVE-2017-1000364, prevents stack
expansion when it shouldn't have.
SUPPORT
Ksplice support is available at ksplice-support_ww at oracle.com.
