Linux kernel built with the support for Stream Control Transmission Protocol
(CONFIG_IP_SCTP) is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference flaw. It could
occur when simultaneous new connections are initiated between a same pair of
hosts.

A remote user/program could use this flaw to crash the system kernel resulting
in DoS.
