Check to see if Chrome OS is affected by https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-17426
Current Description
The malloc function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.26 could return a memory block that is too small if an attempt is made to allocate an object whose size is close to SIZE_MAX, potentially leading to a subsequent heap overflow. This occurs because the per-thread cache (aka tcache) feature enables a code path that lacks an integer overflow check.
It affects glibc:2.26:*:*:*:*:*:*:*
