kernel: net: sctp: remote memory pressure from excessive queueing

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol SCTP implementation handled the association's output queue. A remote attacker could send specially crafted packets that would cause the system to use an excessive amount of memory, leading to a denial of service...

UBUNTU-CVE-2014-8160

net/netfilter/nfconntrackprotogeneric.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18 generates incorrect conntrack entries during handling of certain iptables rule sets for the SCTP, DCCP, GRE, and UDP-Lite protocols, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via packets with...

Kernel: net: SCTP: fix a NULL pointer dereference during INIT collisions

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol SCTP implementation handled simultaneous connections between the same hosts. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system...

Scientific Linux Security Update : kernel on SL6.x i386/x86_64 (20140909)

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's futex subsystem handled reference counting when requeuing futexes during futexwait. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to zero out the reference counter of an inode or an mm struct that backs up the memory area of the futex, which could...

kernel: net: sctp: null pointer dereference when processing authenticated cookie_echo chunk

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel processed an authenticated COOKIEECHO chunk during the initialization of an SCTP connection. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system by initiating a specially crafted SCTP handshake in order to trigger a NULL pointer dereference on th...
