kernel: net: sctp: NULL pointer dereference in af->from_addr_param on malformed packet

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's SCTP implementation validated INIT chunks when performing Address Configuration Change ASCONF. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system by sending a specially crafted SCTP packet to trigger a NULL pointer dereference on the system...

UBUNTU-CVE-2014-0101

The sctpsfdo51Dce function in net/sctp/smstatefuns.c in the Linux kernel through 3.13.6 does not validate certain authenable and authcapable fields before making an sctpsfauthenticate call, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and system crash via an...

kernel: sctp: crash due to malformed SCTPChunkInit packet

The sctpprocessunkparam function in net/sctp/smmakechunk.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.33.3 and earlier, when SCTP is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service system crash via an SCTPChunkInit packet containing multiple invalid parameters that require a large amount of error data...
