Title: Invalid EA on pre 4.9 kernels Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project: Fix Committed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Bug description: == Comment: #0 - Breno Leitao <bren...@br.ibm.com> - 2017-06-28 08:00:40 == When a process accesses an invalid EA it results in a SEGV signal being sent to the process, which typically results in the process being killed. Process death isn't instantaneous however, the process may catch the SEGV signal and continue somehow, or the kernel may start writing a core dump for the process, either of which means it's possible for the process to be preempted while its processing the SEGV but before it's been killed. We need to have this fix on kernel 4.4 and 4.8: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/779346/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-systems/+bug/1700980/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
