Bug description:
Hello,
I suggest we disable a.out support in our kernels. It's quite old,
likely has security problems, and unlikely to have users.
Here's a hand-filtered list of kernel configs that were returned from this
list:
grep -rl -e AOUT=m -e AOUT=y | sort -n
I've selected what looks like the most recent kernels from among:
precise
trusty
xenial
bionic
cosmic
There is no disco because it's not on the kernel.ubuntu.com/kernel-
config rsync source.
Thanks
