Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2023-53372 (Linux). CVSS 8.2 → 7.8 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: fix a potential overflow in sctp_ifwdtsn_skip
Currently, when traversing ifwdtsn skips with _sctp_walk_ifwdtsn, it only
checks the pos against the end of the chunk. However, the data left for
the last pos may be < sizeof(struct sctp_ifwdtsn_skip), and dereference
it as struct sctp_ifwdtsn_skip may cause coverflow.
This patch fixes it by checking the pos against "the end of the chunk -
sizeof(struct sctp_ifwdtsn_skip)" in sctp_ifwdtsn_skip, similar to
sctp_fwdtsn_skip.
