INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running UEKR5 4.14.35
on OL7 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

* Filesystem corruption during XFS unlink operations.

A logic error in the XFS inode unlink path can cause certain operations
to corrupt the filesystem if a machine crashes under certain
conditions.

Orabug: 34765017, 34765034

* Correct EDAC memory displayed names.

An incorrect name was reported for some memory controller in the EDAC
filesystem due to a logic error. Userspace programs depending on this
value may be non functional because of this error.
