I can confirm segfaults after updating the kernel to 3.13.0-59 on various 64 Bit machines. Its related to shelling out commands from 32 bit executables. In my case its a proprietary program, but its reproducible with the following steps:
$ apt-get install gcc-multilib $ cat test.c #include "stdlib.h" int main() { system("/bin/echo Hello World"); } $ gcc -m64 test.c Hello World $ gcc -m32 test.c $ ./a.out # Program is crashing here $ dmesg|tail -n 1 [ 102.260840] sh[2283]: segfault at 3dbb92d0 ip 000000003dbb92d0 sp 00000000b366e850 error 14 in ld-2.19.so[7f573dbb8000+23000] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1479093 Title: Segfault in ld-2.19.so while starting Steam after upgrade to 3.13.0-59.98 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1479093/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
