CVE-2023-1074: Medium severity Linux Linux kernel vulnerability
A flaw in the Linux Kernel found. Fail if no bound addresses can be used for a given scope. A type confusion can happen in inetdiagmsgsctpasocfill() in net/sctp/diag.c, which uses a type confused pointer to return information to userspace when issuing a listentry() on asoc->base.bindaddr.addresslist.next when the list is empty.
