I just checked in the following SCTP bug fix to net-2.6 and will make sure it gets into -stable as well. sctp: Make sure N * sizeof(union sctp_addr) does not overflow. As noticed by Gabriel Campana, the kmalloc() length arg passed in by sctp_getsockopt_local_addrs_old() can overflow if ->addr_num is large enough. Therefore, enforce an appropriate limit.
