CVE-2018-1095 CrOS: Vulnerability reported in Linux kernel

Project Member Reported by vomit.go...@appspot.gserviceaccount.com, May 3 2018

Issue description

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

Advisory: CVE-2018-1095
  Details: http://vomit.googleplex.com/advisory?id=CVE/CVE-2018-1095
  CVSS severity score: 7.1/10.0
  Description:

The ext4_xattr_check_entries function in fs/ext4/xattr.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.15 does not properly validate xattr sizes, which causes misinterpretation of a size as an error code, and consequently allows attackers to cause a denial of service (get_acl NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image.

Guenter points out that according to the kernel team's guidelines, these are SS-High. While we harmonize the guidelines, we can follow the kernel team's for kernel bugs.
