Scilab 5.5.1 works with old kernel ( $ uname -a Linux debian-8 3.16.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.43-2 (2017-04-30) i686 GNU/Linux )
but crashes with new ( $ uname -a Linux debian-8 3.16.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.43-2+deb8u1 (2017-06-18) i686 GNU/Linux $ scilab Segmentation fault ) Other programs may be affected in Debian too. For example in Ubuntu CVE-2017-1000364 fix crashes many applications (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698919 ): * Oracle Java Plugin (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1699772 ) * Scilab at least in Trusty and Xenial (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1699892 ) * LPCxpresso (see https://community.nxp.com/thread/453939 ) * RMongo (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/44699417 ) * Ubiquity UniFi (see https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Wireless/UniFi-Controller-failed-after-dist-upgrade/td-p/1967779 ) * Eclipse (see https://askubuntu.com/questions/927746/eclipse-crashes-with-linux-kernel-4-4-0-81-generic ) Note: I can't get changelog of Debian kernel with "dpkg -S /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-686-pae". Is it normal?
