Project Member Reported by vomit.go...@appspot.gserviceaccount.com, Jan 10 2018 
VOMIT (go/vomit) has received an external vulnerability report for the Linux kernel. 

Advisory: CVE-2017-17854
  Details: http://vomit.googleplex.com/advisory?id=CVE/CVE-2017-17854
  CVSS severity score: 7.2/10.0

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 bb7f0f989ca7de1153bd128a40a71709e339fa03 ("bpf: fix integer overflows"). Already fixed in both chromeos-4.4 and chromeos-4.14.

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

Correction to #1: Lakitu has BPF_SYSCALL enabled, and the fix is not in chromeos-4.4. However, the problem was introduced with commit f1174f77b50c ("bpf/verifier: rework value tracking"), which is not in chromeos-4.4, and chromeos-4.4 is therefore not affected.
