Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-01-12 12:36:49 UTC
"A malicious peer could have modified a COOKIE-ECHO chunk in a SCTP packet in a way that potentially resulted in a use-after-free. We presume that with enough effort it could have been exploited to run arbitrary code."
