This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Linux Kernel. A successful exploit can lead to denial of service.
The sctp_rcv_ootb function in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via (1) an Out Of The Blue (OOTB) chunk or (2) a chunk of zero length.
