DOS: Linux Kernel SCTP Packet Handling NULL Pointer Dereference Remote Denial of Service
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Linux Kernel. A successful exploit can lead to remote denial of service.
Extended Description
The sctp_process_param function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.17.4, when ASCONF is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a malformed INIT chunk.
