If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Wed Dec 30 19:52:45 PST 2015 From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2015 07:25:06 -0800 Subject: ipv6: sctp: clone options to avoid use after free From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9470e24f35ab81574da54e69df90c1eb4a96b43f ] SCTP is lacking proper np->opt cloning at accept() time. TCP and DCCP use ipv6_dup_options() helper, do the same in SCTP. We might later factorize this code in a common helper to avoid future mistakes.
