Judging from the stack trace: Telepathy sends a message, using the sendmsg system call, on a socket of type PF_UNIX. The process doing that is inside a seccomp compartment, i.e. does not have direct system access, so the system call is handled by marshalling the arguments to a data structure, and sending them to another process (so that process can look at whether the access is allowed, implementing more complex policies than what the kernel allows). The message is appended to the socket that will transport it to the program handling this. During this append operation, an invalid pointer is found. This can happen if a data structure is uninitialized, but this is certainly a kernel bug if there is a code path that can leave an uninitialized structure somewhere where it would be expected to be valid. The second error is a repeat of the first -- the data structure didn't get any better in the meantime. I'd report this as a bug against the kernel package that you are using, in this case linux-image-3.19.0-29-generic. If the problem can be reproduced, please include instructions to do so. This appears to be a weird interaction between Chrome and Telepathy that might itself warrant investigation, but the primary issue is that there is a way to reach an invalid state, and that should never happen.
