Subject: [04/68] sctp: Fix out-of-bounds reading in sctp_asoc_get_hmac()

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Dan Rosenberg <drosenberg@...curity.com>

commit 51e97a12bef19b7e43199fc153cf9bd5f2140362 upstream.

The sctp_asoc_get_hmac() function iterates through a peer's hmac_ids
array and attempts to ensure that only a supported hmac entry is
returned.  The current code fails to do this properly - if the last id
in the array is out of range (greater than SCTP_AUTH_HMAC_ID_MAX), the
id integer remains set after exiting the loop, and the address of an
out-of-bounds entry will be returned and subsequently used in the parent
function, causing potentially ugly memory corruption.  This patch resets
the id integer to 0 on encountering an invalid id so that NULL will be
returned after finishing the loop if no valid ids are found.
