In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: drop a chunk if its transport was removed
sctp_rcv() resolves the transport once per packet and leaves it in
chunk->transport. The lookup reference, or the one sctp_add_backlog() takes
if the socket is owned by userspace, keeps it around until the chunk has
been processed.
An authenticated ASCONF DEL-IP can remove it in the meantime.
sctp_assoc_rm_peer() takes the transport out of the association and calls
sctp_transport_free(), which tags it dead and drops the reference the
association held. There is a window on both paths: the packet can sit on
the socket backlog, and on the direct path the lookup completes before
bh_lock_sock().
The DATA chunk in that packet puts the removed transport back into
asoc->peer.last_data_from. Once the packet is done that reference goes
away and the transport is freed by RCU, so the next delayed SACK carries
the pointer into the SACK chunk and sctp_outq_select_transport() reads the
freed transport's state.
Drop the chunk in sctp_inq_push(), next to the existing rcvr->dead check.
Both paths reach it with the association's socket lock held. The peer
retransmits it.
SSVC (CISA's decision table, applied by EchelonGraph)Track at low or medium mission impact; Track* at high (mission-essential systems).
A fix is available. Apply it within your standard update timelines.
Exploitation none (no CISA value, KEV listing or exploit code on record) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). EchelonGraph holds no SSVC assessment of this CVE from CISA: none of these inputs is from Vulnrichment. EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse". CISA's decision table
BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
