RHEA-2023:6747 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

A new kpatch-patch-5_14_0-362_8_1 package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

Description

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

This enhancement update adds the kpatch-patch-5_14_0-362_8_1 package to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. This is an empty kpatch-patch package, which does not contain any real patches. It is only a method to subscribe to the kpatch stream for kernel-5.14.0-362.8.1.el9_3. Future updates to this package will contain kernel live patches. (RHEL-14595)
