[Ksplice][Fedora-14-Updates] New updates available via Ksplice (FEDORA-2011-11982)

[Nelson Elhage]

Synopsis: FEDORA-2011-11982 can now be patched using Ksplice

Systems running Fedora 14 can now use Ksplice to patch against the
latest Fedora bugfix update, FEDORA-2011-11982.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on Fedora 14 install
these updates.  You can install these updates by running:

# /usr/sbin/uptrack-upgrade -y

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 additional action.


DESCRIPTION

* Fix memory corruption in CFQ I/O scheduler.

An RCU implementation error could result in memory corruption under certain I/O
workloads.


* Fix ptrace inside Linux containers.

The ptrace system call did not function properly inside containers, preventing
tools such as "strace" and "gdb" from working properly.
