Apply Microsoft Security Update for Azure Linux Open Management Infrastructure / safecomputing.umich.edu

Open Management Infrastructure (OMI) is an open source project sponsored by Microsoft that is used extensively by Azure services. OMI operates similarly to Windows Management Infrastructure (WMI), but for UNIX/Linux systems.

OMI enables popular services for statistics and sync configurations, and is silently installed on the Virtual Machine, running at the highest privileges possible.The vulnerabilities include privilege escalation vulnerabilities that enable attackers to gain the highest privileges on a machine with OMI installed.
