CVE-2013-1828 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The sctp_getsockopt_assoc_stats function in net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.4 does not validate a size value before proceeding to a copy_from_user operation, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application that contains an SCTP_GET_ASSOC_STATS getsockopt system call.. EPSS estimates a 1.01% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
