====================================================== Name: CVE-2008-4618 Status: Candidate URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4618 Reference: MLIST:[oss-security] 20081006 CVE request: kernel: sctp: Fix kernel panic while process protocol violation parameter Reference: URL:http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2008/10/06/1 Reference: CONFIRM:http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.27.y.git;a=commit;h=ba0166708ef4da7eeb61dd92bbba4d5a749d6561 Reference: CONFIRM:http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.27 The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (sctp) implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27 does not properly handle a protocol violation in which a parameter has an invalid length, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via unspecified vectors, related to sctp_sf_violation_paramlen, sctp_sf_abort_violation, sctp_make_abort_violation, and incorrect data types in function calls.
