[SCTP]: Fix kernel panic while received AUTH chunk with BAD shared key identifier
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. > Neil Horman wrote: >> On Tue, Jan 22, 2008 at 05:29:20PM +0900, Wei Yongjun wrote: >> >> FWIW, Ack from me.
