Memory corruption by specific string or its part in presence of cbsensor/event_collector module
Issue
The system experiences kernel panic due to random memory corruption while having cbsensor
/event_collector
module loaded.
The memory gets overwritten with the [eventfd]
string (most often), its part (for instance, 0x655b
hex sequence; less often) or another ASCII sequence.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
