Usually, yes. However, there is sometimes a delay between the on-disk kernel being released and the Ksplice patches for the fix being released, depending on the complexity of the patch that needs to be Kspliced. In this instance, the updated UEK3 has been released and the Ksplice patches are in release QA right now. I’d expect to see them released in the next 8-12 hours.

Hope that helps,
Avi
