Subject: Re: CVE Request: Linux kernel - SCTP denial of service during heartbeat timeout functions.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

> A case can occur when sctp_accept() is called by the user during
> a heartbeat timeout event after the 4-way handshake.  Since
> sctp_assoc_migrate() changes both assoc->base.sk and assoc->ep, the
> bh_sock_lock in sctp_generate_heartbeat_event() will be taken with
> the listening socket but released with the new association socket.
> The result is a deadlock on any future attempts to take the listening
> socket lock.

> Ensure the socket taken is also the same one that is released by
> saving a copy of the socket before entering the timeout event
> critical section.
