QID 48225: Suse Live Patch Detected
SUSE Linux Enterprise Live Patching contain only critical fixes, and they do not replace regular kernel updates that require a reboot. Consider live patches as temporary measures that protect the kernel until a proper kernel update and a reboot is performed.
Kernel live patches are delivered as packages with modified code that are separate from the main kernel package. The live patches are cumulative, so the latest patch contains all fixes from the previous ones for the kernel package.
Advantages SUSE Linux Enterprise Live Patching
Keeping a large numbers of servers automatically up-to-date is essential for organizations obtaining or maintaining certain compliance certifications. KLP can help achieve compliance, while reducing the need for costly maintenance windows.
Companies that work with service-level agreement contracts must guarantee a specific level of their system accessibility and uptime. Live patching makes it possible to patch systems without incurring downtime.
Since KLP is part of the standard system update mechanism, there is no need for specialized training or introduction of complicated maintenance routines.
QID Detection Logic (Authenticated):
This QID will detect livepatch, kernel-livepatch versions, fixed CVEs ,bug fixes and enhancements ID post live patch applied.
This QID will execute command for Linux enterprise server prior to 15 - " kgr -v patches"
This QID will execute command for Linux enterprise server 15 and later- " klp -v patches"
