Bug Description

The signal implementation in the Linux kernel before 4.3.5 on powerpc platforms does not check for an MSR with both the S and T bits set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (TM Bad Thing exception and panic) via a crafted application.

Break-Fix: 2b0a576d15e0e14751f00f9c87e46bad27f217e7 d2b9d2a5ad5ef04ff978c9923d19730cb05efd55
