      An update to Linux kernel 6.19 has caused consistent startup issues (crashes) with MongoDB 8.0+. Strong confidence this issue is in the TCMalloc repo, related to TCMalloc violating the upstream rseq ABI. TCMalloc contributors are aware of this issue.

      Impact
      None of our Atlas fleet is affected, since Atlas runs on Linux kernel version 6.1. We do not have plans to upgrade our kernel version at this time.
      Any customer downloading MongoDB 8.0+ and using kernel version 6.19 will get crashes upon trying to run MongoDB. This includes installing using package managers or Docker.
