The audit performed on libcap https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lsuC_tQbQ5pCE2Sy_skw0a7hTzQyQh2C/view Identified an issue (see LCAP-CR-23-102) regarding the use of [lib]psx:pthread_kill() and the potential for segfaulting. I didn't view this as a blocking issue for releasing libcap-2.69 so I'm filing this bug to investigate it. I need to understand how to reproduce the stated failure mode and then I can investigate a modified implementation.

Seems like not Linux kernel issue, but rather libcap one. Please report to support channels for libcap[2].

Nothing. This bug component is for libcap
