With the proliferation of inexpensive IOT devices running insecure Linux kernels on corporate networks, maintaining secure infrastructure has become an almost impossible task; IOT device manufacturers seldom keep up with the latest disclosed vulnerabilities, and usually do not provide complete working source code. There are few viable solutions for network administrators to patch and maintain their devices. Efforts to create a standard of live patching capabilities have been proposed by Oracle’s ksplice, SuSE’s kGraft, RedHat’s kpatch, and even built into the 4.0 kernel as “livepatch.” Unfortunately all these solutions require capabilities to be pre-compiled into the kernel and present a host of other security concerns.
