Last modified

CVE-2008-4576 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. sctp in Linux kernel before 2.6.25.18 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via an INIT-ACK that states the peer does not support AUTH, which causes the sctp_process_init function to clean up active transports and triggers the OOPS when the T1-Init timer expires.. EPSS estimates a 3.68% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
