In particular,\ninet_diag_msg_sctpasoc_fill() may read an empty bind-address list as a\nreal sctp_sockaddr_entry and trigger an out-of-bounds read from\nunrelated association memory.\n\nReject the association after taking the socket lock if it has been\nreaped or detached from the endpoint, and report the lookup as stale.\nThis keeps the exact dump-one path from formatting torn association\nstate.","published":"2026-06-24T08:16:22.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-19T20:18:46.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.1,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-125","CWE-416"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00128,"percentile":0.02464,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.13%).
