Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
sctp: clear out_curr if all frag chunks of current msg are pruned<br />
<br />
A crash was reported by Zhen Chen:<br />
<br />
list_del corruption, ffffa035ddf01c18->next is NULL<br />

<br />
and in sctp_sched_fcfs_dequeue() it dequeued a chunk from stream<br />
out_curr outq while this outq was empty.<br />
<br />
Normally stream->out_curr must be set to NULL once all frag chunks of<br />
current msg are dequeued, as we can see in sctp_sched_dequeue_done().<br />
However, in sctp_prsctp_prune_unsent() as it is not a proper dequeue,<br />
sctp_sched_dequeue_done() is not called to do this.<br />
<br />
This patch is to fix it by simply setting out_curr to NULL when the<br />
last frag chunk of current msg is dequeued from out_curr stream in<br />
sctp_prsctp_prune_unsent().
