+Subject: [PATCH] net: sctp: fix NULL pointer dereference in
+ af->from_addr_param on malformed packet
+
+[ Upstream commit e40607cbe270a9e8360907cb1e62ddf0736e4864 ]
+
+An SCTP server doing ASCONF will panic on malformed INIT ping-of-death
+in the form of:
+
+  ------------ INIT[PARAM: SET_PRIMARY_IP] ------------>
+
+While the INIT chunk parameter verification dissects through many things
+in order to detect malformed input, it misses to actually check parameters
+inside of parameters. E.g. RFC5061, section 4.2.4 proposes a 'set primary
+IP address' parameter in ASCONF, which has as a subparameter an address
+parameter.
+
+So an attacker may send a parameter type other than SCTP_PARAM_IPV4_ADDRESS
+or SCTP_PARAM_IPV6_ADDRESS, param_type2af() will subsequently return 0
+and thus sctp_get_af_specific() returns NULL, too, which we then happily
+dereference unconditionally through af->from_addr_param().
+
+The trace for the log:
+

+[...]
+
+A minimal way to address this is to check for NULL as we do on all
+other such occasions where we know sctp_get_af_specific() could
+possibly return with NULL.

+Fix for CVE-2014-7841
