It is related, yes. LO does something rather unexpected (and arguably Not Good) to its stack on i386, and that clashes with the added kernel protection against the "stack clash" vulnerability. Fixes are being prepared on kernel upstream, on the grounds that userspace regressions are Bad, but in the end it is likely that we will want to fix both LO and the kernel. As for java, what it does is actually reasonably sane and there are already two or three kernel fix alternatives upstream, I think they settled on one already and merged it. If it proves stable, it should end up in a stable kernel and Debian kernels soon. -- Henrique Holschuh
