#CVE-2020-16044: Use-after-free write when handling a malicious COOKIE-ECHO SCTP chunk

Reporter
Ned Williamson
Impact
critical
Description

A malicious peer could have modified a COOKIE-ECHO chunk in a SCTP packet in a way that potentially resulted in a use-after-free. We presume that with enough effort it could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.
