Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sctp: clear out_curr if all frag chunks of current msg are pruned

A crash was reported by Zhen Chen:

  list_del corruption, ffffa035ddf01c18->next is NULL
  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 250682 at lib/list_debug.c:49 __list_del_entry_valid+0x59/0xe0
  RIP: 0010:__list_del_entry_valid+0x59/0xe0
  Call Trace:
   sctp_sched_dequeue_common+0x17/0x70 [sctp]

   sctp_sendmsg+0x3d5/0x440 [sctp]
   sock_sendmsg+0x5b/0x70

and in sctp_sched_fcfs_dequeue() it dequeued a chunk from stream
out_curr outq while this outq was empty.

Normally stream->out_curr must be set to NULL once all frag chunks of
current msg are dequeued, as we can see in sctp_sched_dequeue_done().
However, in sctp_prsctp_prune_unsent() as it is not a proper dequeue,
sctp_sched_dequeue_done() is not called to do this.

This patch is to fix it by simply setting out_curr to NULL when the
last frag chunk of current msg is dequeued from out_curr stream in
sctp_prsctp_prune_unsent().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49838 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
