net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.1 does not properly
restrict association peel-off operations during certain wait states, which
allows local users to cause a denial of service (invalid unlock and double
free) via a multithreaded application. NOTE: this vulnerability exists
because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2017-5986.
