Kernel Bug question

[Jean M. Vandette]

Greetings all,

We have had one of our mail servers running 4.8-STABLE reboot every few hours

The following messages were found in the /var/log/messages


>Apr 13 13:19:20 ms /kernel: panic: malloc: wrong bucket

Looks like a part of the kernel using data that it doesn't own, ie. a 
kernel bug
Anyone else seen this type of message and better still have you found a fix?
