Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dtrace-modules-3.8.13-118.22.1.el6uek package and not the dtrace-modules-3.8.13-118.22.1.el6uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux Kernel before version 4.15.8, 4.14.25, 4.9.87, 4.4.121, 4.1.51, and 3.2.102, an error in the "_sctp_make_chunk()" function (net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c) when handling SCTP packets length can be exploited to cause a kernel crash.
