Reboots are a thing of the past!

Available to Oracle Linux customers with Oracle Linux Premier Support, Oracle Ksplice updates your Oracle Linux kernel with all of the important security patches without needing to reboot.

With rebootless updates, you can:

• Save time and pain by updating in seconds, while your systems are running.
• Avoid downtime.
• Prevent disastrous security incidents by making it easy to stay up to date.

Linux distributions require a reboot about once a month to stay up to date with important kernel security updates. Oracle Ksplice Uptrack allows you to apply the same updates published by your Linux vendor, without rebooting.

What gets patched?

Not all kernel patches are created equal. Ksplice patches run-time security vulnerabilities and stability bugs. Whether it's the latest CVE targeting the network stack or a kernel panic caused by a poorly written driver, Ksplice will quickly provide protection to your system, without rebooting.
