Description:
7
 
 The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (sctp) implementation in the Linux
8
 
 kernel before 2.6.27 does not properly handle a protocol violation in which
9
 
 a parameter has an invalid length, which allows attackers to cause a denial
10
 
 of service (panic) via unspecified vectors, related to
11
 
 sctp_sf_violation_paramlen, sctp_sf_abort_violation,
12
 
 sctp_make_abort_violation, and incorrect data types in function calls.

Ubuntu-Description:
14
 
 It was discovered that the SCTP stack did not correctly handle bad
15
 
 packet lengths.  A remote user could exploit this by sending specially
16
 
 crafted SCTP traffic which would trigger a crash in the system, leading
17
 
 to a denial of service.  This issue did not affect Ubuntu 8.10.
