This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Linux SCTP Handler. A successful exploit can lead to buffer overflow and remote code execution.
Buffer overflow in net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (sctp) implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28-git8 allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact via an FWD-TSN (aka FORWARD-TSN) chunk with a large stream ID.
