NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-firmware package and not the kernel-uek-firmware package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The sctp_init function in net/sctp/protocol.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2.3 has an incorrect sequence of protocol-initialization steps, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic or memory corruption) by creating SCTP sockets before all of the steps have finished.
