CVE-2008-3526
Integer overflow in the sctp_setsockopt_auth_key function in net/sctp/socket.c in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (sctp) implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.24-rc1 through 2.6.26.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic)…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.49%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
