Linux Kernel vulnerabilities, e.g. Kernel Side-Channel Attacks (Meltdown, Spectre), Dirty COW, Linux Kernel Double Fetch Denial of Service
Vulnerability, udp.c in the Linux kernel ... … … the list goes on and on.
Linux kernel security updates with important new security and reliability patches are released about once per month to stay up to date with important kernel and user-space security updates.
Industry regulations and best practices require companies to apply these security updates and patches regularly because security is compromised by a failure to update. System administrators are forced to choose between known best practices and system reboots that are costly and disruptive.

Industry regulations and best practices require companies to apply these security updates and patches regularly because security is compromised by a failure to update. System administrators are forced to choose between known best practices and system reboots that are costly and disruptive.
Since these are kernel security fixes which means the
operating system requires restart in order to active the new kernel and the
fixes.
ONLY to fix Linux kernel vulnerabilities, every month
organizations have hundreds of hour's system downtime in every quarter at
minimum.
What is Ksplice?
Ksplice allows
you to apply the same updates, without rebooting that would normally require an
update with your package manager and a reboot.
With reboot-less updates, you can:
- Save time and pain by updating in seconds, while your systems are running.
