Howdy, This is my first time ever submitting a kernel bug, so I apologize if this is the wrong place. As per the instructions I found, I first filed a bug in Arch Linux: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/77575 I will add the contents of the response here: For the record, here are the 2 associated mailing list threads [1][2]. The reason why it affects both LTS and current linux is because it appears a security patch was applied to both trees to fix a UAF (use after free) bug. If that patch is problematic, you should report it upstream to the kernel folks. Maybe even email the patch author directly. It's this patch [3]. Please let us know what you find out.
