Subject: [ 23/25] net: sctp: fix NULL pointer dereference in
 af->from_addr_param on malformed packet

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

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

From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@...hat.com>

commit a6e1af6f5e9e75095ae1b004f6f00082e5fc4d2d upstream

An SCTP server doing ASCONF will panic on malformed INIT ping-of-death
in the form of:

  ------------ INIT[PARAM: SET_PRIMARY_IP] ------------>

While the INIT chunk parameter verification dissects through many things
in order to detect malformed input, it misses to actually check parameters
inside of parameters. E.g. RFC5061, section 4.2.4 proposes a 'set primary
IP address' parameter in ASCONF, which has as a subparameter an address
parameter.

So an attacker may send a parameter type other than SCTP_PARAM_IPV4_ADDRESS
or SCTP_PARAM_IPV6_ADDRESS, param_type2af() will subsequently return 0
and thus sctp_get_af_specific() returns NULL, too, which we then happily
dereference unconditionally through af->from_addr_param().

The trace for the log:

A minimal way to address this is to check for NULL as we do on all
other such occasions where we know sctp_get_af_specific() could
possibly return with NULL.
