Integer overflow in the SCTP_SOCKOPT_DEBUG_NAME SCTP socket option in socket.c in the Linux kernel 2.4.25 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via an optlen value of -1, which causes kmalloc to allocate 0 bytes of memory.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2004-2013 is an old Linux kernel flaw where a local user could abuse SCTP socket option handling to potentially run code with kernel-level impact. The source bundle names Linux kernel 2.4.25 and earlier. There is no KEV listing or provided evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Linux systems running kernel 2.4.25 or earlier, especially where local users can access SCTP functionality. Modern environments are unlikely to be affected unless they retain obsolete kernels or embedded appliances. Prioritize this for legacy asset review, not emergency internet-wide response. The business risk is highest where old Linux systems still host shared users, contractors, or untrusted workloads. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for Linux kernel 2.4.25 or earlier.; Check vendor or distribution advisories for corrected kernel packages.; Upgrade or retire affected legacy Linux systems where possible..
