[meta-freescale] [meta-fsl-ppc][PATCH v2] CVE-2014-5077 Kernel/SCTP: fix a NULL pointer dereference

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the
Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol
(SCTP) implementation handled simultaneous connections
between the same hosts. A remote attacker could use this
flaw to crash the system.
