A rare kernel panic scenario can occur due to an erratum on fast string copy instructions in the Linux kernel. This issue happens when an uncorrected error is present in the first cache line of a page, and the kernel executes page copy from the page immediately before that page. The fast string copy instructions could consume an uncorrectable memory error and raise a Machine Check Exception (MCE). This erratum is confirmed by Intel to only apply to Skylake, Cascade Lake, and Cooper Lake generations.
