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")
