Arches, please stabilize gentoo-sources-4.9.23. Among other things, it contains the fixes for the recently disclosed "Stack Clash" vulnerability.

This stabilization... does solve this issue with latest nvidia-drivers? (not the legacy ones) https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608264 I tried with several 4.9.* kernels and the issue is the same. Kernel 4.10.* solves that issue (in fact, that's what I'm using now), so I asked a stable request but I got nothing. Thanks.

And out of kernel drivers never hold up stable kernel requests. And nvidia is even worse, as it is a closed binary driver.

I'd stop using if except for the poor performance of the Nouveau drivers. That's weird that 4.9.*, being stable, breaks some modules like the Nvidia, no matter if closed or not.

If there are other modules broken that are in the kernel than open bugs. Making vague statements like this helps no one. And does not belong on this bug. This fixes an important root exploit.
In fact the issue was open some time ago and the link was above. However, it was marked as "resolved", but the issue is still there.
I just tried this kernel and it solves the issue. Now I'm using this version of kernel. Thanks anyways.

Binary out of tree drivers never stop kernel stabilization. Trust me, I've been around here a long time.
Stable on alpha.
Stable on x86

Trust me, I've been around here a long time. I got it, who's not getting it is someone else than me, also there are more essentials problems rather than a out-of-kernel binary. But it does not matter by now, the issue at least is solved and that's enough for me.

And they better be worse than this root exploit.

If this needs to be stabilized on arm... current version to stabilize would be 4.9.49-r1... do you want to use this bug for that or better wait for a new stabilization bug targetting a newer 4.9.x version for all arches?

Its up to you guys. It's only a problem when it keeps me from removing old kernels and this particular one is not. We can request a new 4.9. It probably would be better for us since we're talking a lot of version from this one until now.
Superseded by bug 642522.
