  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsctp: validate embedded address parameter length\n\nsctp_verify_asconf() and sctp_verify_param() only validate ADD_IP, DEL_IP,\nand SET_PRIMARY parameters against a fixed minimum size of sizeof(struct\nsctp_addip_param) + sizeof(struct sctp_paramhdr). This ensures the outer\nparameter is large enough to contain an embedded address parameter header,\nbut does not verify that the embedded address parameter's declared length\nfits within the bounds of the outer parameter.\n\nLater, sctp_process_param() and sctp_process_asconf_param() extract the\nembedded address parameter and pass it to af-\u003efrom_addr_param(), which uses\nthe address parameter length to parse the variable-length address payload.\nA malformed peer can therefore advertise an embedded address parameter\nlength that exceeds the remaining bytes in the enclosing parameter.\n\nValidate that addr_param-\u003ep.length does not exceed the space available\nafter the sctp_addip_param header before processing the embedded address\nparameter. Reject malformed parameters when the embedded address length\nextends beyond the enclosing parameter bounds.\n\nThis prevents out-of-bounds reads when parsing malformed parameters carried\nin INIT or ASCONF processing paths.",
