Vulnerability Type: DoS 
CWE ID: CWE-362
Summary: Race condition in the sctp_rcv function in net/sctp/input.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.29 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system hang) via SCTP packets.  NOTE: in some environments, this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-2482.
Commit Message: sctp: Fix another socket race during accept/peeloff

There is a race between sctp_rcv() and sctp_accept() where we
have moved the association from the listening socket to the
accepted socket, but sctp_rcv() processing cached the old
socket and continues to use it.

The easy solution is to check for the socket mismatch once we've
grabed the socket lock.  If we hit a mis-match, that means
that were are currently holding the lock on the listening socket,
but the association is refrencing a newly accepted socket.  We need
to drop the lock on the old socket and grab the lock on the new one.

A more proper solution might be to create accepted sockets when
the new association is established, similar to TCP.  That would
eliminate the race for 1-to-1 style sockets, but it would still
existing for 1-to-many sockets where a user wished to peeloff an
association.  For now, we'll live with this easy solution as
it addresses the problem.
