CVE-2008-4576

Linux kernel < 2.6.25.18 - Denial of Service via SCTP INIT-ACK

Title source: llm

Description

sctp in Linux kernel before 2.6.25.18 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via an INIT-ACK that states the peer does not support AUTH, which causes the sctp_process_init function to clean up active transports and triggers the OOPS when the T1-Init timer expires.
