CVE-2017-1000364 Advisory

[Stefan Bader]

Hi,

We are investigating a possible regression for the recently released Ubuntu
kernel versions provided on Monday, June 19th for CVE-2017-1000364 [1]. The
regression experienced can be seen as an increased level of segmentation faults
on the patched machines. We believe other major Linux distributions are also
affected by this regression.

Users of Ubuntu should evaluate their scenario and decide if upgrading to
mitigate CVE-2017-1000364 is correct for their environment at this time.

We will keep you updated and let you know once we have identified a workaround
or resolution to this problem.

Regards,
The Canonical Kernel Team
