How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:6 kernel-kdump to version 0:2.6.32-71.7.1.el6 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2010:0842.

NVD Description

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

The sctp_auth_asoc_get_hmac function in net/sctp/auth.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not properly validate the hmac_ids array of an SCTP peer, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and panic) via a crafted value in the last element of this array.
