CVE-2014-5077

HIGH 7.1EPSS 5.79%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.79%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The sctp_assoc_update function in net/sctp/associola.c in the Linux kernel through 3.15.8, when SCTP authentication is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) by starting to establish an association between two endpoints immediately after an exchange of INIT and INIT ACK chunks to establish an earlier association between these endpoints in the opposite direction.
