If SCTP-AUTH is enabled, received AUTH chunk with BAD shared key
identifier will cause kernel panic.
Test as following:
step1: enabled /proc/sys/net/sctp/auth_enable
step 2: connect to SCTP server with auth capable. Association is
established between endpoints. Then send a AUTH chunk with a bad
shareid, SCTP server will kernel panic after received that AUTH chunk.
SCTP client SCTP server
INIT ---------->
(with auth capable)
<---------- INIT-ACK
(with auth capable)
COOKIE-ECHO ---------->
<---------- COOKIE-ACK
AUTH ---------->
AUTH chunk is like this:
AUTH chunk
Chunk type: AUTH (15)
Chunk flags: 0x00
Chunk length: 28
Shared key identifier: 10
HMAC identifier: SHA-1 (1)
HMAC: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The assignment of NULL to key can safely be removed, since key_for_each
(which is just list_for_each_entry under the covers does an initial
assignment to key anyway).
If the endpoint_shared_keys list is empty, or if the key_id being
requested does not exist, the function as it currently stands returns
the actuall list_head (in this case endpoint_shared_keys. Since that
list_head isn't surrounded by an actuall data structure, the last
iteration through list_for_each_entry will do a container_of on key, and
we wind up returning a bogus pointer, instead of NULL, as we should.
