This is a medium CVE, so it's ignored on Precise ESM.

However, one interesting thing is that the same kernel has passed with the "CVE-2015-8539" test, just not the test_cve_2015_8539_2 test:

22:55:51 DEBUG| Verify CVE-2015-8539 is fixed ... ok
22:55:51 DEBUG| test_cve_2015_8539_2 (__main__.KernelPanicTest)

Yeah, it's curious that only the second test triggered a failure. In any event, I'll fix qa-r-t to expect failure for precise's 3.2 kernel.

Thanks!

Pushed https://git.launchpad.net/qa-regression-testing/commit/?id=2120892f80422c0c8f8002a1589c9d5320da8250 to the qa-r-t tree, closing that task.

Thanks!

This fix can make this test pass with Precise kernel, thanks.
