Reverting the fix for CVE-2018-1108 to get this to work is not necessary and not a good idea. The root cause has been identified upstream in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=897572 and fixes committed.
Turns out it was fontconfig generating a uuid that tripped over the CVE fix. One commited fix is to copy the necessary fonts to initramfs so genuuid is not needed. Another is a fix to randutils. Those are the changes that need to be pushed to Ubuntu users. How did this regression ever get into an Ubuntu software update for the masses? ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #897572 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=897572 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1779827 Title: failure to boot with linux-image-4.15.0-24-generic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1779827/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
