"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsctp: fix NULL deref on untransmitted RECONF completion\n\nsctp_process_strreset_outreq(), sctp_process_strreset_addstrm_out() and\nsctp_process_strreset_resp() complete a pending stream reconfiguration\nrequest by stopping the reconf timer on the transport it was sent on:\n\n\tt = asoc->strreset_chunk->transport;\n\tif (timer_delete(&t->reconf_timer))\n\t\tsctp_transport_put(t);\n\nchunk->transport is assigned by __sctp_packet_append_chunk() when the\nchunk is appended to an outbound packet, and sctp_outq_flush_ctrl() arms\nthe reconf timer at that same point. A request already published in\nasoc->strreset_chunk but not yet transmitted has neither, so completing\nit dereferences NULL.\n\nTwo ways to get there. sctp_send_asconf_del_ip() sets\nasoc->src_out_of_asoc_ok without sending anything when the address being\nremoved is the association's last one, and sctp_outq_flush_ctrl() then\nleaves every non-ASCONF control chunk queued; as only\nsctp_process_asconf_ack() clears that flag, it persists. An unprivileged\nprocess that removes such an address and then asks for a stream reset\npanics the kernel from softirq. A peer needs neither ASCONF nor local\nhelp: sctp_cmd_interpreter() uncorks the outqueue only once the whole\npacket has been processed, so a reply built while walking a RECONF chunk\nstays untransmitted for the rest of that walk, and one RECONF chunk\ncarrying [Incoming SSN Reset Request, Outgoing SSN Reset Request,\nResponse] -- or two RECONF chunks in one packet -- reaches the same\ndereference.\n\n KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x00000000000001e8-0x00000000000001ef]\n RIP: 0010:timer_delete+0x67/0x110\n Call Trace:\n <IRQ>\n sctp_process_strreset_addstrm_out (net/sctp/stream.c:832)\n sctp_sf_do_reconf (net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c:4212)\n sctp_do_sm (net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c:1172)\n sctp_assoc_bh_rcv (net/sctp/associola.c:1044)\n sctp_rcv (net/sctp/input.c:243)\n ip_local_deliver (net/ipv4/ip_input.c:262)\n process_backlog (net/core/dev.c:6680)\n </IRQ>\n\nA response can only acknowledge a request that was actually sent, so do\nnot match asoc->strreset_chunk while chunk->transport is NULL. Guarding\nthe lookup covers all three completion sites."

"value": "AV:N - A remote SCTP peer reaches the bug via sctp_rcv() -> sctp_assoc_bh_rcv() -> sctp_sf_do_reconf() on an established association; one RECONF carrying Incoming/Outgoing SSN Reset plus Response, or two bundled RECONF chunks, completes an untransmitted strreset_chunk. This is internet-facing SCTP (telecom/Diameter), not a local-only syscall.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the packet: sctp_cmd_interpreter() keeps the outqueue corked until the whole packet is processed, so the generated RECONF reply stays untransmitted and the follow-on parameter/chunk deterministically NULL-dereferences. request_seq is the peer's initial TSN from INIT/INIT-ACK; no race or uninfluenceable memory layout is required.\nPR:N - Triggering requires only a network-reachable established SCTP association; the attacker needs no local account, capabilities, or namespaces on the victim. RECONF is processed in ESTABLISHED without SCTP-AUTH by default (empty auth chunk list), so no extra credentials beyond being the SCTP peer.\nUI:N - Exploitation is driven entirely by inbound SCTP packets processed automatically in softirq on a listening or already-associated endpoint; no victim user action such as opening a file or mounting a filesystem is required.\nS:U - Impact is a kernel NULL dereference and oops in the host SCTP stack, remaining in the same kernel security authority; it is not a VM/guest-to-host escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-boundary breakout.\nC:N - The defect is a pure NULL pointer dereference of strreset_chunk->transport in timer_delete() (KASAN range around offset 0x1e8). No out-of-bounds read, UAF object reuse, or other disclosure primitive is involved.\nI:N - Only a NULL transport pointer is loaded and passed to timer_delete(); there is no write, type confusion, or memory corruption that could hijack control flow or modify kernel state beyond the crash.\nA:H - timer_delete() on the NULL transport oopses/panics the kernel from SCTP receive softirq (documented KASAN null-ptr-deref in sctp_process_strreset_*), which is a full availability loss and can be repeated at will by the peer."
