Subject: [PATCH net] sctp: fix possible out-of-bounds read in SCTP_PARAM_SUPPORTED_ADDRESS_TYPES
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 17:22:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818092252.782855-1-l1138897701@163.com> (raw)
From: Qing Luo <luoqing@kylinos.cn>
While processing SCTP_PARAM_SUPPORTED_ADDRESS_TYPES in
sctp_process_param(), the length field is subtracted from
sizeof(struct sctp_paramhdr) and stored in a __u16 variable. If the
length is less than sizeof(struct sctp_paramhdr) (4 bytes), the unsigned
subtraction underflows, resulting in a value near 0xFFFF. The subsequent
for() loop then iterates far beyond the parameter boundaries, causing an
out-of-bounds read.
sctp_verify_param() performs no length validation for this parameter
type, so a malformed parameter with insufficient length can reach
sctp_process_param() through the INIT/INIT-ACK/COOKIE-ECHO processing
path.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
