[Ksplice][Ubuntu 10.04 Updates] Subject: New updates available via Ksplice (2.6.32-33.71)

[Anders Kaseorg]

Synopsis: 2.6.32-33.71 can now be patched using Ksplice

Systems running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid can now use Ksplice to patch
against the latest Ubuntu kernel update, 2.6.32-33.71.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid
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

* Corruption with sendfile to non-sockets

A flaw in the direct_splice_actor function could cause corruption in
userspace when using the sendfile system call with output files other
than sockets.
