Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] sctp: validate INIT in COOKIE-ECHO when auth disabled
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 20:33:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1781570014.git.lucien.xin@gmail.com> (raw)
This series fixes a security gap in SCTP's COOKIE-ECHO handling when
cookie authentication is disabled.
Currently, INIT chunks embedded in cookies are not re-verified after
unpacking, creating a vulnerability when cookie_auth_enable=0. This
series first refactors error handling, then adds the missing validation.
Xin Long (2):
sctp: factor out INIT verification failure handling
sctp: add INIT verification after cookie unpacking
