In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: properly validate chunk size in sctp_sf_ootb() A size validation fix similar to that in Commit 50619dbf8db7 ("sctp: add size validation when walking chunks") is also required in sctp_sf_ootb() to address a crash reported by syzbot: BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in sctp_sf_ootb+0x7f5/0xce0 net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c:3712 sctp_sf_ootb+0x7f5/0xce0 net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c:3712 sctp_do_sm+0x181/0x93d0 net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c:1166 sctp_endpoint_bh_rcv+0xc38/0xf90 net/sctp/endpointola.c:407 sctp_inq_push+0x2ef/0x380 net/sctp/inqueue.c:88 sctp_rcv+0x3831/0x3b20 net/sctp/input.c:243 sctp4_rcv+0x42/0x50 net/sctp/protocol.c:1159 ip_protocol_deliver_rcu+0xb51/0x13d0 net/ipv4/ip_input.c:205 ip_local_deliver_finish+0x336/0x500 net/ipv4/ip_input.c:233
