Description Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2010-06-25 19:46:00 UTC 
CVE-2010-1173 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-1173):
  The sctp_process_unk_param function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in
  the Linux kernel 2.6.33.3 and earlier, when SCTP is enabled, allows
  remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an
  SCTPChunkInit packet containing multiple invalid parameters that
  require a large amount of error data.

Comment 2 Anthony Basile gentoo-dev 2010-06-26 01:11:48 UTC 
Of the hardened sources currently in the tree, none of the hardened-sources-2.6.32* are vulnerable.  They are based off of kernels > 2.6.32.10.
