Happy Friday! Echoing our popular series over on the Oracle Virtualization blog, we'll now be spotlighting something interesting about Oracle Linux for you every Friday. This week, we have a really cool video done by Intel that features Oracle's Phillip Goerl discussing the Oracle Linux development model and how it relates to Intel Xeon.

Ksplice is designed to work in many different computing environments. Because upgrading the kernel on any running system is a hassle, we want you to be able to deploy Ksplice as widely as possible. As a consequence of this, there are a number of ways to set up a Ksplice installation for your Oracle Linux infrastructure. As the first part of a series of articles on Ksplice best practices, we've published a guide to deploying Ksplice on the Oracle Technology Network. This guide...

In September 2012, CVE-2012-3552 was reported which could allow an attacker to corrupt slab memory which could lead to a denial-of-service or possible privilege escalation depending on the target machine workload. This bug had originally been fixed in the mainline kernel in April 2011 and was a fairly large patch for a security fix. The RedHat backport for this fix introduced a new bug which has been assigned CVE-2013-2224 which again could allow for a denial-of-service...

We have just released a rebootless update to deal with a critical security vulnerability: CVE-2013-2850: Remote heap buffer overflow in iSCSI target subsystem. If an iSCSI target is configured and listening on the network, a remote attacker can corrupt heap memory, and gain kernel execution control over the system and gain kernel code execution. As this vulnerability is exploitable by remote users, Ksplice is issuing an update for all affected kernels immediately. This update...

This is a 0-day local privilege escalation found by Tommi Rantala while fuzzing the kernel using Trinity. The cause of that oops was patched in 3.8.10 in commit 8176cced706b5e5d15887584150764894e94e02f. 'spender' on Reddit has an interesting writeup on the details of this exploit. We've already shipped this for Fedora 17 and 18 for the 3.8 kernel, and an update for Ubuntu 13.04 will ship as soon as Canonical releases their kernel. We have a policy of only shipping updates...
