Description
The issue affects the Linux kernel and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service or disrupt the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The
sctp assoc lookup asconf ack function in net/sctp/associola.c is specifically vulnerable to duplicate ASCONF chunks that trigger an incorrect uncork within the side-effect interpreter, leading to a panic.Recommendations
