CrOS: CVE-2017-9211: Vulnerability reported in Linux kernel

Project Member Reported by vomit.go...@appspot.gserviceaccount.com, Jun 9 2017 
VOMIT (go/vomit) has received an external vulnerability report for the Linux kernel. 

Advisory: CVE-2017-9211
  Details: http://vomit.googleplex.com/advisory?id=CVE/CVE-2017-9211
  CVSS severity score: 4.9/10.0
  Description:

The crypto_skcipher_init_tfm function in crypto/skcipher.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.2 relies on a setkey function that lacks a key-size check, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted application.

A DoS is not automatically a security vulnerability in Chrome, but I'm triaging this like similar bugs in the past to be safe.

groeck, could you triage further?
