CVE-2018-10938 CrOS: Vulnerability reported in Linux kernel

Project Member Reported by vomit.go...@appspot.gserviceaccount.com, Nov 7

Issue description

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.
