 https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-659-1
Description:
 Integer overflow in the sctp_setsockopt_auth_key function in
 net/sctp/socket.c in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (sctp)
 implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.24-rc1 through 2.6.26.3 allows
 remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) or possibly have
 unspecified other impact via a crafted sca_keylength field associated with
 the SCTP_AUTH_KEY option.
Ubuntu-Description:
 It was discovered that the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
 did not correctly validate the key length in the SCTP_AUTH_KEY option.
 If SCTP is in use, a remote attacker could send specially crafted network
 traffic that would crash the system, leading to a denial of service.
