RHEL messages log shows a few ld-linux-x86-64 segfaults every two weeks

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

The server appears to be running normally, but in dmesg and the messages file, there are repetitive messages about ld-linux-x86-64 segfaulting every two weeks:

Feb  6 04:02:05 server kernel: ld-linux-x86-64[2581]: segfault at 00000000084065c0 rip 0000003fcaa08e4e rsp 00007fffa8f9d0c0 error 4

The server appears stable but we are trying to find the reason for these segmentation faults.
