CVE-2008-4576
sctp in Linux kernel before 2.6.25.18 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via an INIT-ACK that states the peer does not support AUTH, which causes the sctp_process_init function to clean up active transports and triggers the OOPS…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.68%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
