Another thing to note is that CONFIG_HAVE_AOUT=y does not indicate that the a.out binfmt handler is enabled but the grep output in the bug description does include those matches. For example, the file xenial/linux-flo/3.4.0-5.23/armhf-config.flavour.flo has these lines:
CONFIG_HAVE_AOUT=y
# CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT is not set
That means that linux-flo for Xenial is not affected by this bug report.
