This code causes a static checker warning because Smatch doesn't trust anything that comes from skb->data. I've reviewed this code and I do think skb->data can be controlled by the user here. The sctp_event_subscribe struct has 13 __u8 fields and we want to see if ours is non-zero. sn_type can be any value in the 0-USHRT_MAX range. We're subtracting SCTP_SN_TYPE_BASE which is 1 << 15 so we could read either before the start of the struct or after the end. This is a very old bug and it's surprising that it would go undetected for so long but my theory is that it just doesn't have a big impact so it would be hard to notice.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
