"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsctp: validate STALE_COOKIE cause length before reading staleness\n\nWhen an ERROR chunk with a STALE_COOKIE cause is received in the\nCOOKIE_ECHOED state, sctp_sf_do_5_2_6_stale() reads the 4-byte Measure\nof Staleness that follows the cause header:\n\n\terr = (struct sctp_errhdr *)(chunk->skb->data);\n\tstale = ntohl(*(__be32 *)((u8 *)err + sizeof(*err)));\n\nerr is the first cause in the chunk, not the STALE_COOKIE cause that\ncaused the dispatch, and nothing guarantees the staleness field is\npresent. sctp_walk_errors() only requires a cause to be as long as the\n4-byte header, so for a STALE_COOKIE cause of length 4 the read runs\npast the cause, and for a minimal ERROR chunk past skb->tail. The value\nis echoed to the peer in the Cookie Preservative of the reply INIT,\nleaking uninitialized memory.\n\nsctp_sf_cookie_echoed_err() already walks to the STALE_COOKIE cause, so\ncheck its length there and pass it to sctp_sf_do_5_2_6_stale(), which\nreads that cause instead of the first one. A STALE_COOKIE cause too\nshort to hold the staleness field is discarded.\n\nThe read is reachable by any peer that can drive an association into\nCOOKIE_ECHOED, including an unprivileged process using a raw SCTP socket\nin a user and network namespace."

"value": "AV:N - The vulnerable code is in the SCTP receive-side state machine and is driven entirely by an attacker-crafted ERROR chunk arriving over the network; no local access is needed. Per kernel guidance, net/ stack bugs reachable via received packets (SCTP explicitly) are Network.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the trigger: acting as the SCTP peer it answers INIT with INIT-ACK to place the association in COOKIE_ECHOED, then sends a minimal ERROR chunk with a 4-byte STALE_COOKIE cause as the last chunk in the packet. There is no race, no memory-layout dependency, and the vtag needed is the one the victim itself advertised in its INIT.\nPR:N - SCTP association setup is unauthenticated; the only check is sctp_vtag_verify() against a tag the peer already received in the victim's INIT. The attacker needs no credentials or privileges on the target system.\nUI:N - No human user action is required — SCTP client daemons (SIGTRAN, Diameter, cluster transports) establish and retry associations automatically, and an on-path attacker can inject the ERROR into an in-progress handshake. In the local variant an unprivileged process creates both sides itself with no user involved.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read and the resulting disclosure stay within the kernel's own security authority; no VM, sandbox, or IOMMU boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Uninitialized kernel memory past skb->tail is read and then transmitted straight back to the attacker inside the reply INIT's Cookie Preservative parameter, and the attack can be repeated indefinitely to sample recycled network-buffer memory that may contain remnants of other connections' traffic. This is a remote, unauthenticated, repeatable kernel heap disclosure oracle, matching the C:H treatment given to the sibling SCTP uninit-read CVE-2026-53225.\nI:N - The bug is a pure read; nothing in kernel memory or in the victim's association state is modified. The only affected value is a protocol field in a packet sent to the attacker itself.\nA:H - The read runs past the end of the received packet data, a memory-safety violation whose target is not proven to remain inside the skb's allocation across all receive paths (GSO/frag_list segments, UDP-encapsulated and linearized skbs), so it can fault and oops; kernel guidance and the CNA's scoring of the equivalent SCTP out-of-bounds-read bug both treat this class as A:H."
