CVE-2026-64564: sctp: don't free the ASCONF's own transport in DEL-IP processing
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: don't free the ASCONF's own transport in DEL-IP processing
sctpprocessasconf() caches the transport the ASCONF chunk is processed against in asconf->transport (== chunk->transport, set once in sctprcv()). For an ASCONF located through its Address Parameter by sctprcvasconflookup(), that cached transport corresponds to the Address Parameter, which need not be the packet's source address.
sctpprocessasconfparam() rejects a DEL-IP for the packet source address (ADDIP D8, SCTPERRORDELSRCIP), but nothing protects asconf->transport. A single ASCONF can therefore carry, in order:
[Address Parameter L] [DEL-IP L] [DEL-IP 0.0.0.0]
where L differs from the source. The DEL-IP for L passes the D8 check and calls sctpassocrmpeer() on the transport that asconf->transport still points at, freeing it (RCU-deferred). The following wildcard DEL-IP then reuses the now-dangling asconf->transport in sctpassocsetprimary() and sctpassocdelnonprimarypeers(): setprimary() dereferences the freed transport (->ipaddr, ->state) and plants the dangling pointer into asoc->peer.primarypath / activepath, and delnonprimarypeers(), keeping only the pointer that is no longer on the list, removes every real transport, leaving the association with a transportcount of 0 and primarypath/activepath pointing at freed memory.
Reject a DEL-IP that targets the transport the ASCONF is being processed against, mirroring the existing source-address guard, so the wildcard branch can never reuse a freed transport.
