chromeos-4.4 and chromeos-4.14 are not affected. chromeos-3.18 is potentially affected, though I would think we would have addressed the problem when the referenced security bulletin was published. Need to evaluate further.

From b/69007678: "Code is in 3.18 but not used there. You'd have to go all the way back to 3.10 to find a shipping device. I would say don't bother". Marking as WontFix.
