[Ksplice-Fedora-29-updates] New Ksplice updates for Fedora 29 (FEDORA-2019-7bdeed7fc5)

[Oracle Ksplice]

Synopsis: FEDORA-2019-7bdeed7fc5 can now be patched using Ksplice

Systems running Fedora 29 can now use Ksplice to patch against the
latest Fedora kernel update, FEDORA-2019-7bdeed7fc5.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running Fedora 29
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

* Potential double-free in nvme-multipath driver.

A failure to properly zero out a pointer when a certain log buffer is
freed in the nvme-multipath driver can lead to a double-free, and
subsequent kernel panic.  This could potentially be used to cause a
denial-of-service.


* Use-after-free of socket buffer in crypto API core.

The crypto module's alg_do_release function fails to zero out a pointer
to a socket structure after that structure is freed.  This can lead to a
use-after-free scenario, which can result in unexpected behavior,
including a potential kernel panic.
