ELBA-2026-500391 - ksplice-helper bug fix update

Type:	BUG
Impact:	NA
Release Date:	2026-10-14

Description

[2.2.0]
- Preserve exact Python distribution provides when the client version ends in .0, so dependent RPMs can upgrade.
- Automatically install updates from the configured snapshot at boot, even with upgrade_on_reboot=no.
- Add uSplice Everywhere support for live patching supported system libraries without installing separate Ksplice-aware library packages.
- Fix loading updates containing long tar directory names.
- Avoid legacy userspace RPM updates on uSplice Everywhere glibc and clarify that live updates leave installed RPMs unchanged.
- Show loaded object names alongside build IDs in userspace target listings.
- Allow verified older Exadata offload binaries whose glibc malloc imports trigger the allocator interposition guard.
- Ship exact-path malloc allowlist entries for Oracle Database and Grid Infrastructure executables.
- Support explicitly allowlisted malloc wrappers while retaining allocator checks and compatibility with older userspace cores.
- Report explicitly selected defunct processes instead of suggesting missing Ksplice-aware libraries.
- Consolidate OCI instance metadata lookups.
- Fix kernel commands ignoring extra verbosity levels (-vv and -vvv).
- Preliminary support for snapshots
