Subject: CVE-2025-40187: net/sctp: fix a null dereference in sctp_disposition sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sctp: fix a null dereference in sctp_disposition sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce()
If new_asoc->peer.adaptation_ind=0 and sctp_ulpevent_make_authkey=0
and sctp_ulpevent_make_authkey() returns 0, then the variable
ai_ev remains zero and the zero will be dereferenced
in the sctp_ulpevent_free() function.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-40187 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:
