INSTALLING THE UPDATES
We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running Oracle Enhanced
RHCK 7 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
* Prepare Ksplice options for entry.S.
* Clear garbage data on the kernel stack when handling signals.
* Provide an interface to freeze tasks.
Provides an alternative method for freezing selected tasks using a flag
in struct task_struct. This is useful starting with 3.3 due to
freezer changes.
* Workaround for alternative instruction inconsistencies.
Some RHEL7 kernels apply different alternative instructions between the
Kernel and modules, this prevents Ksplice update modules from patching core
Kernel code. This update works around the problem by ensuring alternative
instructions are applied in Ksplice updates to the Kernel in the same way
they would have been at boot.
* KSPLICE enablement for patching KVM Intel module.
* CVE-2015-8964: Use-after-free in tty line discipline configuration.
Incorrect initialization in the tty subsystem can cause a tty driver to
access previously freed memory. A local attacker could use this to
obtain sensitive information from the kernel.
* CVE-2017-18551, CVE-2019-9454: Out-of-bounds access when reading data over I2C bus.
A missing check on user input when reading data over I2C bus could lead

could be freed while it is still in use. A malicious user could use
this to cause denial of service or potentially elevate privileges.
