High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 3.15.9
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and OOPS, when SCTP authentication is enabled. This occurs by starting to establish an association between two endpoints immediately after an exchange of INIT and INIT ACK chunks to establish an earlier association between these endpoints in the opposite direction.
Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.15.9, update to version 3.15.9 or later to resolve the issue.
