[resolved] Is the current kernel vulnerable to CVE-2018-5390?

I just read about the current TCP DOS vulnerability in current Linux kernels.
Are the current Arch kernels linux and linux-lts affected by this?
The CVE is not listed here.

Found it: https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-747
Sorry for the noise.

It is [listed on the linked page], just under the AVG-747 identity. See also: https://security.archlinux.org/CVE-2018-5390

EDIT: clarification.

It is

It is?  Doesn't the table in the page you linked to say it was fixed in 4.17.11-1?  The current repo version is 4.17.12.  So it should not be vulnerable.

Sorry, that was a bad choice of words/lack of context on my part; that was a response to "The CVE is not listed here.", but it looks like OP found it on their own.
