Project Member Reported by vomit.go...@appspot.gserviceaccount.com, Nov 8 2017

Issue description

VOMIT (go/vomit) has received an external vulnerability report for the Linux kernel. 

Advisory: CVE-2017-15299
  Details: http://vomit.googleplex.com/advisory?id=CVE/CVE-2017-15299
  CVSS severity score: 4.9/10.0
  Description:

The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.13.7 mishandles use of add_key for a key that already exists but is uninstantiated, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted system call.
