"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsctp: drop a chunk if its transport was removed\n\nsctp_rcv() resolves the transport once per packet and leaves it in\nchunk->transport. The lookup reference, or the one sctp_add_backlog() takes\nif the socket is owned by userspace, keeps it around until the chunk has\nbeen processed.\n\nAn authenticated ASCONF DEL-IP can remove it in the meantime.\nsctp_assoc_rm_peer() takes the transport out of the association and calls\nsctp_transport_free(), which tags it dead and drops the reference the\nassociation held. There is a window on both paths: the packet can sit on\nthe socket backlog, and on the direct path the lookup completes before\nbh_lock_sock().\n\nThe DATA chunk in that packet puts the removed transport back into\nasoc->peer.last_data_from. Once the packet is done that reference goes\naway and the transport is freed by RCU, so the next delayed SACK carries\nthe pointer into the SACK chunk and sctp_outq_select_transport() reads the\nfreed transport's state.\n\nDrop the chunk in sctp_inq_push(), next to the existing rcvr->dead check.\nBoth paths reach it with the association's socket lock held. The peer\nretransmits it."

"value": "AV:N - A remote SCTP peer reaches the bug via received packets in sctp_rcv() on internet-facing SCTP servers and telecom endpoints; DATA that already resolved a transport is processed after an authenticated ASCONF DEL-IP (or COOKIE-ECHO restart) has removed that peer.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race by sending ASCONF DEL-IP (or a restart that calls sctp_assoc_rm_peer) and a DATA chunk whose lookup already holds the doomed transport; the backlog path is FIFO-deterministic while the socket is in a syscall, and the direct path is a bh_lock_sock race the attacker creates.\nPR:N - Exploitation requires only a network-reachable established SCTP association; no local Linux credentials, capabilities, or namespaces are needed, and SCTP-AUTH keys used for ASCONF come from the handshake the peer itself performs.\nUI:N - Inbound SCTP packets are processed automatically in softirq or socket backlog on a listening or already-associated endpoint; no victim user action such as opening a file or mounting a device is required.\nS:U - Impact is kernel memory corruption and potential privilege escalation within the host SCTP stack; it does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other security-authority boundary.\nC:H - DATA processing plants the removed transport into asoc->peer.last_data_from; after the lookup reference is dropped the object is RCU-freed, and the next delayed SACK dereferences the freed sctp_transport in sctp_outq_select_transport(), a UAF that enables arbitrary kernel disclosure via heap grooming.\nI:H - sctp_outq_select_transport() does list_add_tail() into the freed send_ready field, and sctp_packet_config()/sctp_transport_burst_limited() write vtag, pathmtu, cwnd, and burst_limited into the reclaimed slab object, yielding arbitrary write and control-flow hijack primitives.\nA:H - Dereferencing the freed transport during delayed SACK transmission can immediately oops or panic the kernel, and the UAF can be triggered repeatedly by a malicious SCTP peer."
