NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-devel package and not the kernel-rt-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Use-after-free vulnerability in the sctp_assoc_update function in net/sctp/associola.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (slab corruption and panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering an INIT collision that leads to improper handling of shared-key data.
