Commitb1f5bfc27a("sctp: don't dereference ptr before leaving _sctp_walk_{params, errors}()") tried to fix the issue that it may overstep the chunk end for _sctp_walk_{params, errors} with 'chunk_end > offset(length) + sizeof(length)'. But it introduced a side effect: When processing INIT, it verifies the chunks with 'param.v == chunk_end' after iterating all params by sctp_walk_params(). With the check 'chunk_end > offset(length) + sizeof(length)', it would return when the last param is not yet accessed. Because the last param usually is fwdtsn supported param whose size is 4 and 'chunk_end == offset(length) + sizeof(length)' This is a badly issue even causing sctp couldn't process 4-shakes. Client would always get abort when connecting to server, due to the failure of INIT chunk verification on server. The patch is to use 'chunk_end <= offset(length) + sizeof(length)' instead of 'chunk_end < offset(length) + sizeof(length)' for both _sctp_walk_params and _sctp_walk_errors.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
