KSplice from MIT allows you to apply security patches to your running Linux kernel without rebooting. This is great news for organizations that can not reboot their systems. KSplice would primarily be used to apply security updates as it is limited to making code changes that do not introduce semantic changes to data structures. Therefore, KSplice is best used to apply security updates that fix "off by one" and similar style exploits.
