## Description

SCTP conntrack (ip\_conntrack\_proto\_sctp.c) in netfilter for Linux kernel
2.6.17 before 2.6.17.3 and 2.6.16 before 2.6.16.23 allows remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (crash) via a packet without any chunks, which
causes a variable to contain an invalid value that is later used to
dereference a pointer.
