Re: [Full-disclosure] Security Updates Without Rebooting

In some cases you can hot-patch a kernel without rebooting the system, loading a module (lkm) with the patch inside.

Hello all,

Can someone explain how to apply security patches on the system without
rebooting the machine?

I guess that I cant patch the kernel without compiling and rebooting the
machine, so the only way is with iptables and keeping the daemons "fresh"?
