JVM crashes after updating to kernel with patch for Stack Guard flaw (CVE-2017-1000364)
Issue
- jsvc causes Java 1.8 to core dump when running Tomcat 8. This started happening in kernel version 2.6.32-696.3.2. The kernel is the only difference in my environment between it working and core dumping jsvc.
- JVM crashes after updating to kernel-3.10.0-514.21.2.el7.x86_64
- After installing the errata kernel to fix the Stack Guard flaw (CVE-2017-1000364), JVM is crashing.
- After we installed kernel-2.6.18-420.el5 various Java applications started crashing.
