OracleLinux:   [El-errata] ELSA-2015-0092 Critical: Oracle Linux 6 glibc security update

Warning: The VM will try to fix the stack guard now.

Running Solaris Studio on EL7/ JDK8.

to fix the warning:

/usr/libexec/urlgrabber-ext-down report KeyboardInterrupt

It’s a weird issue:

EL7, yum update abort.

checked, it should be :
 Bug 1099101 – 7.0 RC Regression: urlgrabber terminates yum upon connection interruption thinking it’s been aborted
 Bug 1091740 – yum stack-traces and interrups

 

Waiting for a fix on: python-urlgrabber-3.10-5.el7

Don’t update nss-softokn-freebl-3.14.3-19.el6_6.x86_64

On my repo. after #yum update.

new kernel cannot get reboot because of initramfs failed to generate.

If this time reboot the os, kernel will fail anyway.

because /usr/lib64/libfreebl3.chk  is not yet provided in new kernel.

Temp fix is to use old version nss-softokn-freebl for now.
