Title
sctp: Prevent TOCTOU out-of-bounds write
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: Prevent TOCTOU out-of-bounds write For the following path not holding the sock lock, sctp_diag_dump() -> sctp_for_each_endpoint() -> sctp_ep_dump() make sure not to exceed bounds in case the address list has grown between buffer allocation (time-of-check) and write (time-of-use).

A remote SCTP peer cannot drive the diag dump, so despite being in net/sctp this is the local netlink/diag surface.\nAC:L - The attacker owns both sides of the race \u2014 one thread hammers the diag dump, another calls sctp_bindx on its own endpoint \u2014 and the vulnerable window spans the entire unbounded write loop, which the attacker lengthens by pre-binding many addresses. Failed attempts are harmless and can be retried indefinitely.\nPR:L - No capability check exists anywhere on the sock_diag/inet_diag dump path (the `net_admin` flag only selects optional attributes), and sctp_do_bind only needs CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE for ports below 1024, which the attacker avoids. Any unprivileged local user with an SCTP socket can do this, without namespaces.\nUI:N - The attacker creates the SCTP endpoint, issues the diag dump, and grows the address list entirely on its own. No victim action of any kind is involved.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel heap memory managed by the same kernel security authority. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The same TOCTOU in the shrink direction leaves the tail of the reserved INET_DIAG_LOCALS attribute uninitialized and copies that kernel heap data straight to userspace, and the heap overflow itself corrupts skb_shared_info (frag_list/destructor_arg), which is readily leveraged into arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - This is a heap out-of-bounds write with attacker-chosen length \u2014 a single bindx call can append ~8000 addresses, yielding up to ~1 MB written past the reserved region \u2014 and partially attacker-controlled content, smashing skb_shared_info and adjacent slab objects, which is a strong path to control-flow hijack and privilege escalation.\nA:H - Overwriting skb_shared_info and neighbouring allocations with sockaddr data reliably produces oopses and kernel panics on subsequent skb handling. Any unprivileged user can repeat the attack at will."
