Synopsis: 3.16.0-41.57 can now be patched using Ksplice

Systems running Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic can now use Ksplice to patch
against the latest Ubuntu kernel update, 3.16.0-41.57.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic
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.
