Howdy,

This is my first time ever submitting a kernel bug, so I apologize if this is the wrong place. As per the instructions I found, I first filed a bug in Arch Linux:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/77575

I will add the contents of the response here:

For the record, here are the 2 associated mailing list threads [1][2].
                                                                                                                                                                 
The reason why it affects both LTS and current linux is because it appears a security patch was applied to both trees to fix a UAF (use after free) bug.
                                                                                                                                                                 
If that patch is problematic, you should report it upstream to the kernel folks. Maybe even email the patch author directly. It's this patch [3]. Please let us
know what you find out.

----------End Response ----------

Methods for reproducing the bug are included in the link to the bug above. But I will include one of them here as well. As root:

[root@mjollnir ~]# cat /dev/vcsa1
                                                                                                                                                                 
    cat: /dev/vcsa1: No such device or address

The contents is displayed very briefly before the No such device or address error.

Thank you,
Storm
