Turn the Linux GhostLock Report Into a Fleet Patch Plan

Short summary

A kernel vulnerability report is not a patch plan. Record the affected subsystem, required privileges, reachable interfaces, fixed commits, and distribution advisories, then inventory hosts with uname, os-release, and module listings. Classify each host as confirmed affected, fixed, potentially exposed, or unknown—unknown is a queue, not a safe state. Test vendor kernels on canaries with rollback signals, patch internet-facing systems first, and verify the running kernel after reboot while preserving evidence.

• •Record affected subsystem, privileges, interfaces, fixed commits, and vendor advisories before acting
• •Classify hosts as affected, fixed, exposed, or unknown—unknown is a queue not a safe state
• •Canary-test vendor kernels with rollback signals; verify running kernel post-reboot and preserve evidence
