Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Linux Kernel, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service or disclose sensitive information.
The first issue is due to an error in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) code that does not properly handle malformed HB-ACK chunks, which could be exploited by attackers to crash a vulnerable system.
The second issue is due to an error in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) code during parameter processing, which could be exploited by attackers to crash a vulnerable system.
The third vulnerability is due to a race condition in the "do_add_counters()" function in netfilter, which could be exploited by attackers to disclose portions of the memory or cause a denial of service.
