Race condition in the sctp_icmp_proto_unreachable function in net/sctp/input.c in Linux kernel 2.6.11-rc2 through 2.6.33 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via an ICMP unreachable message to a socket that is already locked by a user, which causes the socket to be freed and triggers list corruption, related to the sctp_wait_for_connect function.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-4526 is a Linux kernel SCTP flaw that can crash an affected system. A remote attacker may trigger a denial of service by causing a race around ICMP unreachable handling. The available bundle does not show active exploitation or a CVSS score. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems running the affected 2.6 kernel range with SCTP reachable or enabled. Red Hat and VMware advisories are referenced, but the bundle does not provide full package or product version matrices. Treat as a legacy infrastructure risk. It can cause outages, but evidence provided does not support active exploitation or data compromise. Prioritize remediation during legacy Linux and virtualization platform review. Mitigation focus: Apply vendor kernel updates that include the upstream SCTP race fix.; Review Red Hat, VMware, or distribution advisories for exact affected packages.; Retire or isolate systems still running Linux 2.6.11-rc2 through 2.6.33..
