CVE-2017-17558 CrOS: Vulnerability reported in Linux kernel

Project Member Reported by vomit.go...@appspot.gserviceaccount.com, Jan 9 2018

Issue description

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

Advisory: CVE-2017-17558
  Details: http://vomit.googleplex.com/advisory?id=CVE/CVE-2017-17558
  CVSS severity score: 7.2/10.0
  Description:

The usb_destroy_configuration function in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the USB core subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider the maximum number of configurations and interfaces before attempting to release resources, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device.
