Linux Kernel < 2.6.26.4 - SCTP Kernel Memory Disclosure

 * Linux Kernel < 2.6.26.4 SCTP kernel memory disclosure

 * Information:
 *
 *   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4113
 *
 *   The sctp_getsockopt_hmac_ident function in net/sctp/socket.c in the Stream
 *   Control Transmission Protocol (sctp) implementation in the Linux kernel 
 *   before 2.6.26.4, when the SCTP-AUTH extension is enabled, relies on an 
 *   untrusted length value to limit copying of data from kernel memory, which 
 *   allows local users to obtain sensitive information via a crafted 
 *   SCTP_HMAC_IDENT IOCTL request involving the sctp_getsockopt function.
 *
 * Notes:
 *
 *   If SCTP AUTH is enabled (net.sctp.auth_enable = 1), this exploit allow an 
 *   unprivileged user to dump an arbitrary amount (DUMP_SIZE) of kernel memory
 *   out to a file (DUMP_FILE). If SCTP AUTH is not enabled, the exploit will 
 *   trigger a kernel OOPS.
