[PATCH lksctp-tools] sctp_send: fix msg_control data corruption

[Daniel Borkmann]

The byte array outcmsg is allocated on the stack within the if-block
that test for a valif sctp_sndrcvinfo structure. There, it is assigned
to outmsg.msg_control, which is later on after leaving the if-block
passed to sendmsg. With this minimal example, the following is
happening:

int main(void)
{
	int fd;
	struct sctp_sndrcvinfo sndinfo;

	fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_SEQPACKET, IPPROTO_SCTP);
	assert(fd > 0);

	sctp_send(fd, "bla", strlen("bla") + 1, &sndinfo, 0);

	return 0;
}

strace ./a.out before this patch:

  sendmsg(3, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"bla\0", 4}],
          msg_controllen=48, {cmsg_len=3364590592, cmsg_level=0x4003e8
          /* SOL_??? */, cmsg_type=, ...}, msg_flags=0}, 0)

  --> cmsg_len corrupted

strace ./a.out after this patch:

  sendmsg(3, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"bla\0", 4}],
          msg_controllen=48, {cmsg_len=48, cmsg_level=0x84 /* SOL_??? */,
                              cmsg_type=, ...}, msg_flags=0}, 0)

This is basically the case since 2005, introduced in the commit 91239acf
("Add sctp_send() API support and testcases"). However, probably this
changed due to a different compiler behaviour / optimization (?), since
it was not visible / affected by older Linux versions.
