Qing Luo ec2e157fc9 sctp: auth: verify auth requirement when auth_chunk is NULL
[ Upstream commit 8e04823c12 ]

sctp_auth_chunk_verify() returns true unconditionally when
chunk->auth_chunk is NULL, silently skipping authentication.
This is incorrect when:

1. skb_clone() failed in the BH receive path, leaving auth_chunk
   NULL. In sctp_endpoint_bh_rcv() asoc is NULL for new
   connections, so the early sctp_auth_recv_cid() check cannot
   catch this.

2. No AUTH chunk precedes COOKIE-ECHO, so skb_clone() is never
   called and auth_chunk remains NULL.

Fix by checking sctp_auth_recv_cid() when auth_chunk is NULL:
if authentication is required, return false to drop the chunk;
otherwise continue normally.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
