[NETFILTER] SCTP conntrack: fix infinite loop
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
fix infinite loop in the SCTP-netfilter code: check SCTP chunk size to
guarantee progress of for_each_sctp_chunk(). (all other uses of
for_each_sctp_chunk() are preceded by do_basic_checks(), so this fix
should be complete.)

Based on patch from Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

CVE-2006-1527
