Which two statements describe Oracle ksplice?
A.
Ksplice actively applies kernel errata updates to the on-disk image and after a
subsequent reboot changes take effect.
B.
Ksplice allows customers to remain current with their OS vulnerability patches while at
the same time minimizing downtime.
C.
Ksplice only works with the Red Hat Compatible Kernel.
D.
Ksplice can be used to update Oracle Database software installed on a running Oracle
Linux system.
E.
Ksplice actively applies kernel errata updates to the running Oracle Linux kernel image.
Explanation:
Ksplice is a free softwareextension of the Linux kernel which allows system
administrators to apply security patches to a running kernel without having to reboot the operating
system(E, not A)(a technique broadly referred to as Dynamic Software Updating).
It only supports patches that don’t make significant semantic changes
to kernel data structures.Ksplice has been implemented for Linux
on the x86-32 and x86-64 architectures.
It was developed by Ksplice, Inc. until 21 July 2011, when Oracle acquired
Ksplice and started offering support for Oracle Linux(not C).
Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux was dropped
and turned into a free 30-day trial for RHEL customers
as an incentive to migrate to Oracle Linux Premier Support.

Oracle Ksplice technology allows you to update systems with new kernel security errata (CVE) without the need to reboot, which enables you to remain current with OS vulnerability patches while minimizing downtime. Oracle Ksplice actively applies updates to the running kernel image, instead of making on-disk changes that would take effect only after a subsequent reboot.
