A remote peer can only help complete the SCTP handshake; it cannot invoke peeloff or the racing send path.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race by running concurrent threads on the same SCTP one-to-many socket, timing peeloff during the window where `sctp_wait_for_connect()` has released the socket lock. Required options (`SCTP_FRAGMENT_INTERLEAVE`, `SCTP_INTERLEAVING_SUPPORTED`, and `net.sctp.intl_enable`) are attacker-settable in a user/net namespace.\nPR:L - No real-root capability is required; an unprivileged user can create SCTP sockets and drive the full race from a user namespace (`unshare -Urn`), including enabling `net.sctp.intl_enable` and the interleaving socket options needed to reach the vulnerable `sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc()` path.\nUI:N - Exploitation is fully attacker-driven through coordinated local threads and does not require any action from a victim user or administrator beyond normal SCTP socket use.\nS:U - Impact is confined to kernel memory integrity/availability within the same security authority; successful exploitation would be local privilege escalation, not a cross-boundary escape such as VM or container breakout by itself.\nC:H - After peeloff migrates `asoc->base.sk`, the caller continues in `sctp_datamsg_from_user()` while holding the wrong socket lock, creating unsynchronized concurrent access to association/stream state that can corrupt kernel heap metadata and be leveraged for arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The post-race path builds and queues DATA/I-DATA chunks via `sctp_datamsg_from_user()` and `sctp_primitive_SEND()` without the correct socket lock, enabling concurrent modification of association output queues and stream structures that can be turned into arbitrary kernel writes or control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - Concurrent unsynchronized access to a live SCTP association after peeloff can cause kernel oops/panic or wedged associations, and the underlying race is a classic kernel concurrency defect with high availability impact even before full exploitation."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor":
