I have verified this bug on Ubuntu 17.04 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It does not affect Ubuntu 17.10 (artful) as the audit package is new enough in that release to have received the upstream fix.

While performing the backport of the fix, I noticed that the code comments around the area of the code that was modified were at odds with the code changes. After determining that the code was correct and the comments were incorrect, I opened a upstream pull request to fix the comments:

  https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-userspace/pull/30

I'll proceed with only the code changes and leave the incorrect comment for the purposes of this SRU.
