Synopsis: 3.2.0-106.147 can now be patched using Ksplice

Systems running Ubuntu 12.04 Precise can now use Ksplice to patch
against the latest Ubuntu kernel update, 3.2.0-106.147.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on 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

* Denial-of-service in USB HID event handling.

Missing validation in the HID event handling could result in
out-of-bounds memory accesses.  An attacker with physical access to the
system could use this flaw to trigger a denial-of-service.

SUPPORT

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