A remote peer can send the malformed AUTH-bundled ASCONF packet over the network.\nAC:L - Triggering only requires a syntactically valid SCTP packet with an AUTH chunk before a truncated ASCONF chunk declaring an IPv6 address parameter. There is no race or condition outside attacker control.\nPR:N - The association lookup path only checks that an AUTH chunk was seen before ASCONF; it does not validate the AUTH HMAC before the vulnerable read. The commit explicitly describes an unauthenticated peer reaching the bug.\nUI:N - No victim action is required after SCTP is reachable on the target. The attacker sends network packets directly to the kernel receive path.\nS:U - The vulnerability affects the kernel SCTP networking stack within the same operating-system security authority. It does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - The bug causes an unauthenticated out-of-bounds/uninitialized read of up to a full IPv6 address worth of bytes past a truncated ASCONF parameter. Under the provided guidance, this is scored High because it is an OOB read not strictly limited to a few harmless bytes.\nI:N - The vulnerable operation reads bytes into a temporary SCTP address used for lookup and does not write attacker data to kernel structures. No direct integrity modification or control-flow overwrite is present.\nA:H - The malformed packet can repeatedly trigger an invalid kernel receive-path read, and such out-of-bounds reads can fault or panic on hardened/sanitized deployments. With uncertainty resolved upward, availability impact is High." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
