NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debuginfo-common-x86_64 package and not the kernel-debuginfo-common-x86_64 package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the Linux SCTP stack. A blind attacker may be able to kill an existing SCTP association through invalid chunks if the attacker knows the IP-addresses and port numbers being used and the attacker can send packets with spoofed IP addresses.
