CVE-2026-68320: sctp: fix auth_chunk_list capacity check in sctp_auth_ep_add_chunkid

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sctp: fix auth_chunk_list capacity check in sctp_auth_ep_add_chunkid

sctp_auth_ep_add_chunkid() uses SCTP_NUM_CHUNK_TYPES (20) as the
capacity limit for ep->auth_chunk_list, allowing it to hold up to
20 chunk entries (param_hdr.length up to 24). However, the copy
destination asoc->c.auth_chunks in struct sctp_cookie is only
SCTP_AUTH_MAX_CHUNKS (16) entries (20 bytes). When more than 16
chunks are added, sctp_association_init() memcpy overflows the
destination by up to 4 bytes.

Fix by using SCTP_AUTH_MAX_CHUNKS as the capacity limit, matching
the destination capacity.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-68320 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
