Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic
Reading and listing the files in /sys/slab can cause applications to crash. The command "find /sys/slab | xargs cat" works until cat segfaults. The music program LMMS scans the root directory and /sys/slab at startup and crashes too. Viewing the /sys/slab in Krusader, crashes it too. The problam appears to be the one discussed in this thread: http://ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0709.2/1886.html Workaround: Doing a "chmod a-x /sys/slab" is enough to hide the directory so that LMMS can startup and run normally. ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.22 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- /sys/slab directory crashes applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174965 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
