Issue description

Automated analysis has detected that the following third party packages have had vulnerabilities publicly reported.

Package Name: sys-kernel/chromeos-kernel-3_10
Package Version: [cpe:/o:linux:linux_kernel:3.10.18]

Advisory: CVE-2017-5972
  Details: https://vomit.googleplex.com/advisory?id=CVE/CVE-2017-5972
  CVSS severity score: 7.8/10.0
  Confidence: high
  Description:

The TCP stack in the Linux kernel 3.x does not properly implement a SYN cookie protection mechanism for the case of a fast network connection, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many TCP SYN packets, as demonstrated by an attack against the kernel-3.10.0 package in CentOS Linux 7.
