Subject: [PATCH] SCTP: Fix kernel panic while received ASCONF chunk with bad serial number
Date: Tue, 05 Feb 2008 23:35:04 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47A87418.30206@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

While recevied ASCONF chunk with serial number less then needed, kernel 
will treat this chunk as a retransmitted ASCONF chunk and find cached 
ASCONF-ACK chunk used sctp_assoc_lookup_asconf_ack(). But this function 
will always return NO-NULL. So response with cached ASCONF-ACKs chunk 
will cause kernel panic.
In function sctp_assoc_lookup_asconf_ack(), if the cached ASCONF-ACKs 
list asconf_ack_list is empty, or if the serial being requested does not 
exists, the function as it currectly stands returns the actuall 
list_head asoc->asconf_ack_list, this is not a cache ASCONF-ACK chunk 
but a bogus pointer.
