Subject: [PATCH net] sctp: preserve the last transport during INIT error cleanup
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 17:20:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112092114.12458-1-ljp1205831794@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Lin Jiapeng <jiapenglin@tencent.com>

On failure, sctp_process_init() removes all non-ACTIVE peer transports.
An existing UNCONFIRMED transport is not promoted to ACTIVE by
sctp_assoc_add_peer(), so cleanup can remove the last transport.

sctp_assoc_rm_peer() assumes another transport remains after removal.
If the list becomes empty, it interprets the list head as a transport
and passes the invalid replacement to sctp_assoc_set_primary() when
removing the primary path, causing a NULL pointer dereference:

	Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000045: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
	KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000228-0x000000000000022f]
	RIP: 0010:sctp_ulpevent_notify_peer_addr_change+0x73/0xba0

	 sctp_assoc_bh_rcv+0x30b/0x630
	 sctp_rcv+0xb63/0x1220
	Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

Keep the last transport during cleanup so sctp_assoc_rm_peer() has a
valid replacement. The retained transport is freed when the association
is destroyed.
