Synopsis: RHBA-2017:1674-1 can now be patched using Ksplice CVEs: CVE-2017-1000364
Systems running RHCK on Oracle Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, CentOS 7, and Scientific Linux 7 can now use Ksplice to patch against the latest Red Hat Bug Fix Advisory, RHBA-2017:1674-1. INSTALLING THE UPDATES We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running OL 7, RHEL 7, CentOS 7, and Scientific Linux 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 * Improved fix to CVE-2017-1000364 to allow stack expansion close to userspace guard. Some userspace applications like the Java Virtual Machine are trying to implement a stack guard area manually by using a fixed mapping which, together with the original Redhat fix for CVE-2017-1000364, prevents stack expansion when it shouldn't have.
