I've just finished compiling 4.9.11 and it seems to work...
Code:
bash-4.4$ uname -a
Linux hp-laptop 4.9.11 #1 SMP Sat Feb 18 16:59:57 CET 2017 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6400 @2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
bash-4.4$

I can't find it either. Maybe this works as a mitigation in the meantime since the dccp module isn't loaded: https://lwn.net/Articles/715374/

CVE-2017-6074
Andrey Konovalov discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the
DCCP networking code, which could result in denial of service or
local privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have
the dccp module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it: echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf install dccp false
Same here. Used the source package and config from Dave's Unofficial SlackBuilt Kernels as a base to roll my own. It's nice to have a good config file to use as a base. I really missed that when attempting to build a 4.11 kernel for the new Ryzen system I'm assembling. Way too many new options that I'm unsure how to answer.

I used the original config for 4.4.39? The latest that came with the regular update. Somewhere there was the instruction that it is safe to take the proposals while running make oldconfig. However my kernel is not very slim and I have been looking for config files, but as it seems noone offers some even when for standard laptop configs (thinkpad).
