CVE-2017-2634 CrOS: Vulnerability reported in Linux kernel

Project Member Reported by vomit.go...@appspot.gserviceaccount.com, Sep 28

Issue description

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

Advisory: CVE-2017-2634
  Details: http://vomit.googleplex.com/advisory?id=CVE/CVE-2017-2634
  CVSS severity score: 7.8/10.0
  Description:

It was found that the Linux kernel's Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) implementation before 2.6.22.17 used the IPv4-only inet_sk_rebuild_header() function for both IPv4 and IPv6 DCCP connections, which could result in memory corruptions. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system.

Fortunately all our kernels are more recent than 2.6.22.17.
