FKIE_CVE-2017-5986

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2017-02-18 21:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 01:21
Summary
Race condition in the sctp_wait_for_sndbuf function in net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and panic) via a multithreaded application that peels off an association in a certain buffer-full state.
