[2.6.22.2 review 08/84] SCTP scope_id handling fix

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

SCTP: Add scope_id validation for link-local binds

SCTP currently permits users to bind to link-local addresses,
but doesn't verify that the scope id specified at bind matches
the interface that the address is configured on.  It was report
that this can hang a system.
