Linux Kernel SCTP_Make_Abort_User Function Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

The Linux kernel is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

A local attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code and potentially compromise the affected computer.
