NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dtrace-modules-4.1.12-37.2.2.el7uek package and not the dtrace-modules-4.1.12-37.2.2.el7uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c in the Linux kernel before 4.3 does not properly manage the relationship between a lock and a socket, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via a crafted sctp_accept call.
