Synopsis: FEDORA-2015-10933 can now be patched using Ksplice

Systems running Fedora 21 can now use Ksplice to patch against the
latest Fedora kernel update, FEDORA-2015-10933.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on Fedora 21 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

* Use-after-free in iSER target.

The iSCSI RDMA extensions had a possible use-after-free which an
attacker could use to cause a denial of service.


* i915 driver object cache NULL pointer dereference.

An error in the Intel i915 driver could result in a kernel panic
resulting from a NULL pointer dereference.


* Device mapper NULL pointer dereference when stack blk-mq devices.

An error in the device mapper code could be triggered when stacking
devices on blk_mq device.
