Ranjan,

Go to http://www.ksplice.com and download/install the ksplice-uptrack
rpm for whichever Fedora you have installed (F13 or F14).

Note carefully that ksplice will automatically apply *their* current
patches to the kernel at boot-time, but it does NOT install the
corresponding kernel RPM. For this reason no auditing or configuration
management software (e.g. uname and rpm/yum) that is not ksplice-aware
will report your system is patched.
