All of the SCTP-AUTH socket options could cause a panic if the extension
is disabled and the API is envoked.

Use CVE-2008-3792, to be filled in later.

Additionally, there were some additional assumptions that certain
pointers would always be valid which may not always be the case."

Use CVE-2008-3793, to be filled in later.  I'm assuming that when
SCTP-AUTH is enabled, that these APIs are reachable from unprivileged
users?

One CVE name is sufficient for this. So, we will just use CVE-2008-3792?

Thanks, Eugene
