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

* Use-after-free when releasing clocks in PTP clock driver.

A logic error when releasing clocks in PTP clock driver could lead to a
use-after-free. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial-
of-service.
