Only systems with BPF_SYSCALL enabled are affected, which is not the case in Chrome OS. Plan is to wait for the patch to be available from upstream stable, then merge into chromeos-4.4 and chromeos-4.14 through the regular stable release merge.

Status: WontFix (was: ExternalDependency)
Upstream  0c17d1d2c61936401f4702e1846e2c19b200f958 ("bpf: fix incorrect tracking of register size truncation"). Already fixed in both chromeos-4.4 and chromeos-4.14.

Comment 4 by groeck@chromium.org, Jan 11 2018 

Correction: Lakitu has BPF_VERIFIER enabled, and the problem is not fixed in chromeos-4.4. However, chromeos-4.4 is not affected since hte problem was introduced with commit b03c9f9fdc37 ("bpf/verifier: track signed and unsigned min/max values") which is not in this release.
