Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
sctp: fix race between sctp_wait_for_connect and peeloff<br />
<br />
sctp_wait_for_connect() drops and re-acquires the socket lock while<br />
waiting for the association to reach ESTABLISHED state. During this<br />
window, another thread can peeloff the association to a new socket via<br />
getsockopt(SCTP_SOCKOPT_PEELOFF), changing asoc->base.sk. After<br />
re-acquiring the old socket lock, sctp_wait_for_connect() returns<br />
success without noticing the migration — the caller then accesses<br />
the association under the wrong lock in sctp_datamsg_from_user().<br />
<br />
Add the same sk != asoc->base.sk check that sctp_wait_for_sndbuf()<br />
already has, returning an error if the association was migrated while<br />
we slept.
