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

Advisory: CVE-2018-7273
  Details: http://vomit.googleplex.com/advisory?id=CVE/CVE-2018-7273
  CVSS severity score: 4.9/10.0
  Description:

In the Linux kernel through 4.15.4, the floppy driver reveals the addresses of kernel functions and global variables using printk calls within the function show_floppy in drivers/block/floppy.c. An attacker can read this information from dmesg and use the addresses to find the locations of kernel code and data and bypass kernel security protections such as KASLR.
