CVE-2023-53296
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: check send stream number after wait_for_sndbuf
This patch fixes a corner case where the asoc out stream count may change after wait_for_sndbuf.
When the main thread in the client starts a connection, if its out stream count is set to N while the in stream count in the server is set to N - 2, another thread in the client keeps sending the msgs with stream number N - 1, and waits for sndbuf before processing INIT_ACK.
However, after processing INIT_ACK, the out stream count in the client is shrunk to N - 2, the same to the in stream count in the server. The crash occurs when the thread waiting for sndbuf is awake and sends the msg in a non-existing stream(N - 1), the call trace is as below:

The fix is to add an unlikely check for the send stream number after the thread wakes up from the wait_for_sndbuf.
