This occurs when a packet contains two or more DATA fragments, causing an skb pointer to refer back to itself during message reassembly, which leads to infinite recursion in the sctp skb pull function.
Recommendations For Linux SCTP (lksctp) versions prior to 2.6.17, update to version 2.6.17 or later to resolve the issue.
