Synopsis: 3.13.0-55.94 can now be patched using Ksplice
Systems running Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty can now use Ksplice to patch
against the latest Ubuntu kernel update, 3.13.0-55.94.
INSTALLING THE UPDATES
We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty
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 when removing a directory on an overlayfs mount.
A logic error in the overlayfs code when removing a directory on the lower
layer could result in a NULL pointer dereference. A local, unprivileged
user could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service.
SUPPORT
Ksplice support is available at ksplice-support_ww at oracle.com.
