Linux SCTP (lksctp) before 2.6.17 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and crash) via a packet that contains two or more DATA fragments, which causes an skb pointer to refer back to itself when the full message is reassembled, leading to infinite recursion in the sctp_skb_pull function.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Linux kernel SCTP flaw that could let a remote sender crash an affected system. The known impact is denial of service, not data theft or code execution. Exposure depends on legacy kernels and whether SCTP traffic can reach the host. Likely limited to legacy Linux systems running kernels before 2.6.17, or vendor kernels without the referenced fixes, where SCTP is enabled and reachable. Modern maintained distributions are unlikely to remain exposed unless they run very old or unsupported kernels. Treat this as a targeted legacy-infrastructure risk. It is not marked as actively exploited, but exposed SCTP on obsolete kernels can cause service outages. Prioritize internet-reachable or telecom-adjacent systems first. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Linux kernels to vendor-fixed packages or kernel 2.6.17 or later.; Review Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Mandriva, or appliance vendor advisories for exact packages.; Disable SCTP where it is not required for business services..
