[ Upstream commit 438b95a7c98f77d51cbf4db021f41b602d750a3f ] Currently INIT_ACK chunk in non-cookie_echoed state is processed in sctp_sf_discard_chunk() to send an abort with the existent asoc's vtag if the chunk length is not valid. But the vtag in the chunk's sctphdr is not verified, which may be exploited by one to cook a malicious chunk to terminal a SCTP asoc. sctp_sf_discard_chunk() also is called in many other places to send an abort, and most of those have this problem. This patch is to fix it by sending abort with the existent asoc's vtag only if the vtag from the chunk's sctphdr is verified in sctp_sf_discard_chunk(). Note on sctp_sf_do_9_1_abort() and sctp_sf_shutdown_pending_abort(), the chunk length has been verified before sctp_sf_discard_chunk(), so replace it with sctp_sf_discard(). On sctp_sf_do_asconf_ack() and sctp_sf_do_asconf(), move the sctp_chunk_length_valid check ahead of sctp_sf_discard_chunk(), then replace it with sctp_sf_discard().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
