Oracle alert ELSA-2012-0571 (kernel)
Oracle Linux Security Advisory ELSA-2012-0571 https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-0571.html The following updated rpms for Oracle Linux 6 have been uploaded to the Unbreakable Linux Network: i386: kernel-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-debug-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-debug-devel-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.i686.rpm kernel-doc-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.noarch.rpm kernel-firmware-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.noarch.rpm kernel-headers-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.i686.rpm x86_64: kernel-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-debug-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-debug-devel-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-doc-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.noarch.rpm kernel-firmware-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.noarch.rpm kernel-headers-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64.rpm SRPMS: http://oss.oracle.com/ol6/SRPMS-updates/kernel-2.6.32-220... The following packages were rebuilt to be in sync with the updated kernel version (no changes other than updating the version number): Users with Oracle Linux Premier Support can now use Ksplice to patch against this Security Advisory. We recommend that all users of Oracle Linux 5 install these updates. Users of Ksplice Uptrack can install these updates by running : # /usr/sbin/uptrack-upgrade -y 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 additional action. Description of changes: * Denial of service due to race condition in the scheduler subsystem. A race condition between exiting a task on one CPU and waking it up by a different CPU can cause a kernel panic when the second task will try waking up a dead task. * CVE-2011-4086: Denial of service in journaling block device. The journal block device assumed that a buffer marked as unwritten or delay could be live without checking if the buffer was mapped. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system. * CVE-2012-1601: Denial of service in KVM VCPU creation. Inconsistent state in the creation of KVM virtual CPU's could lead to NULL pointer dereferences. A unprivileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system.
