I'm sorry. Yes, I meant out-of-bounds access.

I agree that the check should be removed, but I think it's better to
keep the test on the calling side, because params->assoc_value is set as
the default "stream schedule" for the socket and it needs to be checked too.

static int sctp_setsockopt_scheduler(..., struct sctp_assoc_value
*params, ...)
{
...
   if (params->assoc_id == SCTP_FUTURE_ASSOC ||
       params->assoc_id == SCTP_ALL_ASSOC)
       sp->default_ss = params->assoc_value;
...
}
