kernel is vulnerable to denial of service. A flaw was found in sctp_auth_asoc_get_hmac() in the Linux kernel’s SCTP implementation. When iterating through the hmac_ids array, it did not reset the last id element if it was out of range. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
