The kernel team is aware of the issue, and will be releasing updated kernels when they are available. There are currently no plans to revert the kernel patch until the replacement patches are ready due to the nature of the security vulnerability. If the regression is preventing you from using the applications you require then we currently recommend you reboot into the previous kernel. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
