Description |
The Linux kernel contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is present in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) code of the kernel. It is triggered when IP-fragmented SCTP control chunks are received by the kernel. Incorrect handling of these in the 'skb_pull()' function might result in a kernel panic, and therefore in loss of availability for the platform.
