Race condition in the sctp_rcv function in net/sctp/input.c in the Linux
kernel before 2.6.29 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(system hang) via SCTP packets. NOTE: in some environments, this issue
exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-2482.

apw | this is a fix for the fix for CVE-2011-2482. That CVE was introduced in a flawed backport of a v2.6.21 feature and therefore we did not have this backport. By induction we are not affected by this one. |
