CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the illumos SCTP inbound path, which improperly validates address parameters in INIT ACK chunks during association lookup, leading to potential out-of-bounds access and kernel heap corruption. This flaw allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to exploit the vulnerability, potentially resulting in remote code execution. Organizations using affected illumos distributions should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Original NVD Description
The illumos SCTP inbound path performs association lookup for INIT ACK chunks without adequately validating the address parameters carried in the chunk. Since this lookup runs during packet classification (i.e. before SCTP integrity checks or IPsec policy are applied) a remote, unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted SCTP INIT ACK packet with malformed address parameters to cause an out-of-bounds access and kernel heap corruption, which may lead to remote code execution. The flaw has existed since 2010 (illumos-gate commit a5407c02), and affects any illumos distribution prior to illumos-gate commit 53a3efde.
