Hi all,
(Sent to cross-distro with debian-arm on cc.)
We have an 'interesting' situation ahead of us, or indeed some of us
have already fallen into it:
(trimming)
The applications we know are affected are luajit and mozjs (libv8 is
not a problem). But this has a follow-on cost: both of these are used
by other packages. Other jit/runtime packages could have their own
issues.
The mozjs bug is fixed on trunk, and will hopefully make it into
release 49[2], but it remains to be seen if that's too late for some
distributions.
Since mozjs is “special” when it comes to API, you have to depend on a specific
version of it, so policykit hard-depends on mozjs17, which has no fixes available for
the VA problem :( I’ve seen reports of systems unable to boot because of the
systemd->polkit->mozjs chain. Is anyone working on fixing that?
Special, might be an understatement.
But for polkit, I've posted patches pulling it forward to mozjs24
(needs testing!)

With mozjs24 the mainline fix applies fairly cleanly without breaking
the ABI.
