  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsctp: don't free the ASCONF's own transport in DEL-IP processing\n\nsctp_process_asconf() caches the transport the ASCONF chunk is processed\nagainst in asconf->transport (== chunk->transport, set once in sctp_rcv()).\nFor an ASCONF located through its Address Parameter by\n__sctp_rcv_asconf_lookup(), that cached transport corresponds to the\nAddress Parameter, which need not be the packet's source address.\n\nsctp_process_asconf_param() rejects a DEL-IP for the packet source address\n(ADDIP D8, SCTP_ERROR_DEL_SRC_IP), but nothing protects asconf->transport.\nA single ASCONF can therefore carry, in order:\n\n    [Address Parameter L] [DEL-IP L] [DEL-IP 0.0.0.0]\n\nwhere L differs from the source. The DEL-IP for L passes the D8 check and\ncalls sctp_assoc_rm_peer() on the transport that asconf->transport still\npoints at, freeing it (RCU-deferred). The following wildcard DEL-IP then\nreuses the now-dangling asconf->transport in sctp_assoc_set_primary() and\nsctp_assoc_del_nonprimary_peers(): set_primary() dereferences the freed\ntransport (->ipaddr, ->state) and plants the dangling pointer into\nasoc->peer.primary_path / active_path, and del_nonprimary_peers(), keeping\nonly the pointer that is no longer on the list, removes every real\ntransport, leaving the association with a transport_count of 0 and\nprimary_path/active_path pointing at freed memory.\n\nReject a DEL-IP that targets the transport the ASCONF is being processed\nagainst, mirroring the existing source-address guard, so the wildcard\nbranch can never reuse a freed transport.",
