Applications requiring JRE not starting

When I first started my computer this morning, I started getting successive System program problem detected alerts. This is after a software update last night. Now my IDEs (Intellij, Android Studio) completely refuse to even open and trying to start them results in even more System program problem detected alerts.

I've diagnosed the problem. Here's the output of sudo ls -l /var/crash/:

-rw-r--r-- 1 kernoops whoopsie 1763 Aug 16 11:53 linux-image-3.13.0-155-generic.108790.crash

And here's the output when I cat one of those files, they all have the same content:

What does that even mean? It appears to me that the hint is in the Comm: java Tainted: G, but I'm not sure what steps to take from there.

Kindly advise.

As a temporary fix, you can also boot your system with a previous kernel image if you don't have the habit to remove them. In my case RESTART + hit the ESC key sent me to boot menu, select advanced options then select for instance the kernel image 153

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1787191 Seems a bug with the linux image, try revert to 153
