ProGhostLock Shield
A lightweight agent that patches the 15-year-old stack-UAF vulnerability (GhostLock) on any Linux kernel without rebooting, using live-patching technology, and continuously monitors for similar ancient bugs in embedded devices and servers.
Target Audience
OT/system administrators at manufacturing plants, hospitals, and telcos running Linux on unpatched, mission-critical hardware where a reboot could cost millions.
Why Now
Hacker News broke the story this week of GhostLock affecting ALL Linux distributions for 15 years; there is no commercial live-patch service targeting the massive installed base of legacy Linux 2.6/3.x kernels in operational technology.
