The check is missing the sizeof(struct\nsctp_authchunks) = 8-byte header. When the caller supplies\nlen == num_chunks (for any num_chunks > 0) the test passes but\ncopy_to_user() writes sizeof(struct sctp_authchunks) = 8 bytes\npast the declared buffer.\n\nThe sibling function sctp_getsockopt_local_auth_chunks() at the\nnext line already has the correct check:\n\n if (len < sizeof(struct sctp_authchunks) + num_chunks)\n return -EINVAL;\n\nAlign the peer variant with its sibling.\n\nReproducer confirms on v7.0-13-generic: an unprivileged userspace\ncaller that opens a loopback SCTP association with AUTH enabled,\nqueries num_chunks with a short optval, then issues the real\ngetsockopt with len == num_chunks and sentinel bytes painted past\nthe buffer observes those sentinel bytes overwritten with the\npeer's AUTH chunk type. The bytes written are under the peer's\ncontrol but land in the caller's own userspace; this is not a\nkernel memory corruption, but it is a kernel-side contract\nviolation that can silently corrupt
