[Scilab-users] scilab -> Segmentation fault

[Nikolay Strelkov]

After some googling I can summarize the following:

This is not Scilab bug, it's bad attempt to fix CVE-2017-1000364 security
bug in Linux kernel.
Debian 7, 8, 9; Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and 16.04 LTS are affected (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1699772).

The *temporary* solution is to reboot with previous kernel versions:
* Debian 7 (wheezy): <= 3.2.78-1
* Debian 8 (jessie): <= 3.16.43-2
* Debian 9 (stretch): <= 4.9.30-2
* Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (trusty): <= 3.13.0-119
* Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial): <= 4.4.0-79

Phillipe, please update your Google+ post
<https://plus.google.com/u/0/+philipperoux/posts/Y1mHTV5KJVf?cfem=1> with
aforementioned kernel versions.

All corresponding bugs in Scilab should be closed as INVALID with reason
"not Scilab bug", I think.
