Package: linux-image-3.16.0-4-powerpc64le Version: 3.16.43-2+deb8u1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
Dear Maintainer, I have been getting segfaults trying to build cargo on ppc64el https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/4197 The signs point to the recent stack guard fix as being the culprit, I can confirm that the test program given here: http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/06/22/6 indicates the presence of the bug on plummer.debian.org. I'm not very familiar with kernel development so I don't know where the proper fix is, but subsequent discussion on that thread suggests that mainline has the "correct fix" whereas some distros applied an incorrect one.
