[Ksplice][EL 5 Updates] New updates available via Ksplice (RHBA-2015:2025-1)

[Vegard Nossum]

Synopsis: RHBA-2015:2025-1 can now be patched using Ksplice

Systems running RHCK on Oracle Linux 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5,
CentOS 5, Scientific Linux 5, and CentOSPlus 5 can now use Ksplice to
patch against the latest Red Hat Bug Fix Advisory, RHBA-2015:2025-1.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on OL5, RHEL 5, CentOS
5, Scientific Linux 5, and CentOSPlus 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.
