[Ksplice][Ubuntu-12.04-Updates] New Ksplice updates for Ubuntu 12.04 Precise (3.2.0-119.162)

[Oracle Ksplice]

Synopsis: 3.2.0-119.162 can now be patched using Ksplice

Systems running Ubuntu 12.04 Precise can now use Ksplice to patch
against the latest Ubuntu kernel update, 3.2.0-119.162.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running Ubuntu 12.04
Precise 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

* Information leak in 'environ' procfs file.

A race condition when forking a process can allow another process to
access the 'environ' file before it is initialized which can leak the
contents of kernel memory.

SUPPORT

Ksplice support is available at ksplice-support_ww at oracle.com.
