sctp in Linux kernel before 2.6.25.18 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via an INIT-ACK that states the peer does not support AUTH, which causes the sctp_process_init function to clean up active transports and triggers the OOPS when the T1-Init timer expires.

Exploit prediction (EPSS)

3.68% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 90% of all scored CVEs.
