The kpatch management tool provides a kernel patching infrastructure which allows you to patch a running kernel without rebooting or restarting any processes.

Security Fix(es):

  • kernel: KVM: cmpxchg_gpte can write to pfns outside the userspace region (CVE-2022-1158)

  • kernel: openvswitch: integer underflow leads to out-of-bounds write in reserve_sfa_size() (CVE-2022-2639)
