Advisory: CVE-2017-17857
  Details: http://vomit.googleplex.com/advisory?id=CVE/CVE-2017-17857

Upstream ea25f914dc164c8d56b36147ecc86bc65f83c469 ("bpf: fix missing error return in check_stack_boundary()"). Only systems with BPF_SYSCALL enabled are affected. BPF_SYSCALL is not enabled in Chrome OS.
Already fixed in both chromeos-4.4 and chromeos-4.14 with stable release merges.

Comment 3 by groeck@chromium.org, Jan 11 2018

Correction of #1: Lakitu has BPF_SYSCALL enabled, and ths 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 the fix is therefore not needed in that release.
