Might as well include CVE-2016-10208 as well though I have not yet validated the results against the sample exploit script supplied as part of the patch.

@Adam - I cannot find a link to CVE-2017-5897, can you provide one? Also, I believe that CVE-2016-10208 is teed up for 4.9.9: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/tree/queue-4.9/ext4-validate-s_first_meta_bg-at-mount-time.patch
