[{"lang": "en", "value": "AV:N - The bug is reached when the kernel parses SCTP INIT/INIT-ACK or ASCONF chunks from a remote peer via sctp_rcv() -> sctp_do_sm() -> sctp_process_init()/sctp_process_asconf(), so any routable attacker can deliver the malformed ADD-IP/SET_PRIMARY TLVs over the network.\nAC:L - Exploitation is deterministic packet crafting (minimal outer TLV length with an oversized embedded address length); no race, memory-layout lottery, or victim-specific state is required beyond a target that has SCTP ADD-IP/asconf enabled, which is a normal configuration for SCTP HA/telecom servers.\nPR:N - No local privileges or pre-existing credentials are needed; an unauthenticated remote peer can send a crafted INIT to a listening SCTP endpoint or complete a handshake and send ASCONF/INIT-ACK traffic, and the vulnerable parsing runs before any application-level authentication.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only sending SCTP packets to a reachable endpoint; no victim must open files, click links, or perform any interactive action beyond ordinary network exposure of an SCTP service.\nS:U - Impact is confined to the kernel SCTP stack on the receiving host (out-of-bounds kernel reads and possible crash); it does not cross a VM, container, or IOMMU security boundary.\nC:H - from_addr_param() performs out-of-bounds reads of up to 16 bytes (IPv6 address field) beyond the enclosing parameter boundary when the embedded length is inflated, exposing adjacent skb/kernel memory per kernel CVSS guidance that out-of-bounds reads warrant High confidentiality impact.\nI:N - The defect is an out-of-bounds read only; no kernel memory is written and the fix does not address any write primitive, so integrity impact is None.\nA:H - Reading beyond the validated parameter bounds can access unmapped memory past the skb chunk and trigger a kernel fault/oops on affected builds; even when bounded within the skb, this class of SCTP parser OOB reads is treated as High availability impact because it is remotely triggerable and may panic the host."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected",
