Doc Text:
A kernel information leak was found in SCTP sockets in the Linux Kernel, where uninitialized memory could be exposed to userspace. This issue occurs in the `inet_sctp_diag_fill()` function, which fails to initialize certain fields before sending data.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-07-16 13:25:28 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sctp: fix kernel-infoleak for SCTP sockets

syzbot reported a kernel infoleak [1] of 4 bytes.

After analysis, it turned out r->idiag_expires is not initialized
if inet_sctp_diag_fill() calls inet_diag_msg_common_fill()

Make sure to clear idiag_timer/idiag_retrans/idiag_expires
and let inet_diag_msg_sctpasoc_fill() fill them again if needed.
