Dear Sir/Madam:
I'm a postgraduate student majoring in information security and
I'm very interested in software vulnerabilities, I think it's really fascinating and I'm doing some research about how to find vulnerabilities automatically. I have done some tests with Linux bug commits. And I found that the patch codes ( fixing CVE-2014-4608 ) didn't appear in the version 3.17.2 to 4.5. I'm just wondering if this means the vulnerability ( CVE-2014-4608 ) recurs in Linux 3.17.2-4.5. If not, is it fixed in another way?
Thanks for your time, I'll appreciate it very much if you can give
an answer.p.s. here is the link to CVE-2014-4608 report

Hi ZhiJun DENG
In linux-4.7-rc1 the log says,

af958a38a60c ("Revert "lzo: properly check for overruns"")
2, then it was fixed in
