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. -- *With best regards,Ph.D., * *associate professor at MPEI <http://mpei.ru/lang/en/Pages/default.aspx>,IEEE member,maintainer of Mathieu functions toolbox for Scilab <http://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/Mathieu/>,Nikolay Strelkov.* 2017-06-22 10:28 GMT+03:00 philippe <[email protected]>: > > Le 22/06/2017 à 01:46, Nikolay Strelkov a écrit : > >[...] > > > > Dear Phillipe, please try to send apport report with > > $ apport-cli /var/crash/_usr_bin_scilab-bin.1000.crash > > to launchpad.
