To operate servers securely, it’s not enough to patch their Linux kernels. Their shared software libraries must be patched as well. Otherwise, an enterprise lays itself open to attacks that exploit vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or GHOST. The usual way that enterprises deal with library vulnerabilities is by rebooting their servers or restarting the applications which cause downtime and windows of vulnerability. Besides, admins rarely know exact libraries that services were using, so they just reboot the whole server to update them all.
In case servers have been patched manually, without a reboot, shared libraries may still contain vulnerabilities. When libraries are updated on disk, old unpatched files can persist in a server’s memory. Also, vulnerability scanners don’t detect these old unpatched library files in memory.
FORMERLY KNOWN AS KERNELCARE+, LIBRARYCARE DETECTS AND UPDATES VULNERABLE SHARED LIBRARIES IN-MEMORY WITHOUT DISRUPTING THE APPLICATIONS USING THEM
The binary files are treated as a single patch, which is then uploaded to a dedicated KernelCare patch server.
The patch server then distributes the patch to customers’ servers.

We will give you three compelling reasons, but there are many more:
Attackers exploiting this OpenSSL request validation flaw could read a server’s memory, then gain control of it. This vulnerability still exists on many systems, even though patches for it have been available since 2014.
Attackers exploiting this glibc buffer overflow flaw could use gethostby functions to make network requests that enabled them to gain control of a server.
20-year-old vulnerability, that allows a specially configured web server to have access to credentials entered in a different web server, through improper behavior in libcurl.
