Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-09-12 13:37:17 UTC 
CVE-2008-3792 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-3792):
  net/sctp/socket.c in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (sctp)
  implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.26.3 does not verify that the
  SCTP-AUTH extension is enabled before proceeding with SCTP-AUTH API
  functions, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service
  (panic) via vectors that result in calls to (1)
  sctp_setsockopt_auth_chunk, (2) sctp_setsockopt_hmac_ident, (3)
  sctp_setsockopt_auth_key, (4) sctp_setsockopt_active_key, (5)
  sctp_setsockopt_del_key, (6) sctp_getsockopt_maxburst, (7)
  sctp_getsockopt_active_key, (8) sctp_getsockopt_peer_auth_chunks, or
  (9) sctp_getsockopt_local_auth_chunks.
