kernel: sctp: purge outqueue on stale COOKIE-ECHO handling

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol SCTP implementation. This vulnerability, a use-after-free, occurs when the system processes a Stale Cookie ERROR during the setup or reconfiguration of an SCTP association. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending...

mediasoup: SCTP state cookie lacks cryptographic authentication, enabling unauthorized association establishment (RFC 9260 violation)

Summary mediasoup's built-in SCTP stack introduced in v3.20.0 authenticates SCTP state cookies using only hardcoded magic byte sequences rather than a per-instance HMAC keyed with a secret, violating RFC 9260 Section 5.1.3. An on-path attacker targeting a PlainTransport with SCTP enabled and no...
