VOMIT (go/vomit) has received an external vulnerability report for the Linux kernel.
Advisory: CVE-2018-10938
Details: http://vomit.googleplex.com/advisory?id=CVE/CVE-2018-10938
CVSS severity score: 7.1/10.0
Description:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel present since v4.0-rc1 and through v4.13-rc4. A crafted network packet sent remotely by an attacker may force the kernel to enter an infinite loop in the cipso_v4_optptr() function in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c leading to a denial-of-service. A certain non-default configuration of LSM (Linux Security Module) and NetLabel should be set up on a system before an attacker could leverage this flaw.
