CVE-2018-14633 CrOS: Vulnerability reported in Linux kernel

Project Member Reported by vomit.go...@appspot.gserviceaccount.com, Nov 15

Issue description

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

Advisory: CVE-2018-14633
  Details: http://vomit.googleplex.com/advisory?id=CVE/CVE-2018-14633
  CVSS severity score: 8.3/10.0
  Description:

A security flaw was found in the chap_server_compute_md5() function in the ISCSI target code in the Linux kernel in a way an authentication request from an ISCSI initiator is processed. An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a stack buffer overflow and smash up to 17 bytes of the stack. The attack requires the iSCSI target to be enabled on the victim host. Depending on how the target's code was built (i.e. depending on a compiler, compile flags and hardware architecture) an attack may lead to a system crash and thus to a denial-of-service or possibly to a non-authorized access to data exported by an iSCSI target. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is highly unlikely. Kernel versions 4.18.x, 4.14.x and 3.10.x are believed to be vulnerable.
