| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.74
Description
The issue is related to an integer overflow in the
sctp association init() function. By default, max autoclose equals INT MAX / HZ, but it can be set to UINT MAX via net.sctp.max autoclose. This setting can trigger an overflow in the sctp association init() function.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.74, update to version 6.6.74 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of
net.sctp.max autoclose set to UINT MAX until a patch is available.Exploit
