Package: linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 Version: 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u1 Severity: important
As described in [1] a commit from 3.16.7-ckt20 [2] included in 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u1 in Debian causes a regression meaning java processes hang whilst exiting. Most commonly this is observed in docker setups. Although the change wasn't in the AUFS code, the AUFS developers have said that it should be fixed in AUFS[3]. Such a change would be a strong candidate for inclusion in a future update. It appears that the change in Linux is potentially security-relevant, so reverting it doesn't seem to be an option. Meanwhile the most obvious workaroud is to revert to 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u3. A side note: I was unable to browse bugs reported against src:linux in the BTS today (HTTP 500 error, reported to owner@) so apologies if this is a duplicate - but I couldn't see anything relevant in the debian-kernel archives. Thanks, Dominic.
