This is indeed a nasty bug. You may want to attach a ksymoops output file to this bug for any more information that it can provide. Since a normal user can cause system instability - severity should be HIGH. Currently looking into it. Quick fix is to chmod that file to 0 during boot Was fixed quite some time ago by changing to have none of the files have world-writeable permissions, we just forgot to mark this bug report as closed. |
