sctp_process_strreset_resp() rolls back a denied ADD_OUT_STREAMS request
by subtracting the requested count from the current stream count:

  nums   = ntohs(addstrm->number_of_streams);
  number = stream->outcnt - nums;          /* net/sctp/stream.c:1050 */
  ...
  stream->outcnt = number;                 /* net/sctp/stream.c:1060 */

This undoes the increment sctp_send_add_streams() performed at request
time, and is only correct if it runs exactly once per request.  Nothing
enforces that.

The function does not check asoc->strreset_outstanding on entry; it only
decrements it at the tail, and asoc->strreset_chunk - the only thing
sctp_chunk_lookup_strreset_param() consults - stays live until that
counter reaches zero.  When both outgoing and incoming streams are added
in one setsockopt(SCTP_ADD_STREAMS), sctp_send_add_streams() sets
strreset_outstanding to 2 and caches a chunk holding both the ADD_OUT
and ADD_IN parameters.

sctp_verify_reconf() permits a RESET_RESPONSE to follow another
RESET_RESPONSE, and the lookup accepts any request still present in the
cached chunk.  A peer can therefore put two responses carrying the
ADD_OUT request_seq into a single RECONF chunk.  sctp_sf_do_reconf()
processes both: the first rollback restores the original count and the
second subtracts nums again.  Depending on the counts, this either wraps
the __u16 or silently shrinks the stream count a second time.

SCTP_SO() is genradix_ptr(), which returns NULL past the preallocated
range, so sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() accepts an out-of-range stream id at
net/sctp/socket.c:1803 and dereferences the resulting NULL slot at
net/sctp/socket.c:1808.  Other stream walkers likewise trust the
inflated count until a later operation repairs or tears down the
association.

Only accept the response sequence currently named by strreset_outseq.
Each accepted response advances that sequence, so a duplicate becomes
stale even while another request parameter remains outstanding.  Also
reject a response whose count exceeds the current stream count as a
defence-in-depth check on the subtraction.
