Candidate: CVE-2008-4576 PublicDate: 2008-10-15 20:07:00 UTC References: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4576 https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-679-1 Description: sctp in Linux kernel before 2.6.25.18 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via an INIT-ACK that states the peer does not support AUTH, which causes the sctp_process_init function to clean up active transports and triggers the OOPS when the T1-Init timer expires. Ubuntu-Description: It was discovered that the SCTP stack did not correctly handle INIT-ACK. A remote user could exploit this by sending specially crafted SCTP traffic which would trigger a crash in the system, leading to a denial of service. This issue did not affect Ubuntu 8.10.
