Описание
The sctp_init function in net/sctp/protocol.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2.3 has an incorrect sequence of protocol-initialization steps, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic or memory corruption) by creating SCTP sockets before all of the steps have finished.
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the SCTP implementation. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on the system by triggering a kernel panic when creating multiple sockets in parallel while the system did not have the SCTP module loaded.
Отчет
This issue affects the Linux kernels as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6 and 7. Due to the limited security impact the issue is currently not planned to be addressed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.
