CVE-2010-3705: Canonical Ubuntu Linux

High severity, CVSS 8.3. EPSS: 2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The sctp_auth_asoc_get_hmac function in net/sctp/auth.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not properly validate the hmac_ids array of an SCTP peer, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and panic) via a crafted value in the last element of this array.

Affected products

• Canonical Ubuntu Linux: version 6.06 only; version 8.04 only; version 9.04 only; version 9.10 only; version 10.04 only; version 10.10 only
• Debian Debian Linux: version 5.0 only
• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 13 only
• Linux Linux Kernel: before 2.6.36 (fixed in 2.6.36)
