There is NULL pointer dereference possible during statistics update if the route
used for OOTB responce is removed at unfortunate time. If the route exists when
we receive OOTB packet and we finally jump into sctp_packet_transmit() to send
ABORT, but in the meantime route is removed under our feet, we take "no_route"
path and try to update stats with IP_INC_STATS(sock_net(asoc->base.sk), ...).
But sctp_ootb_pkt_new() used to prepare responce packet doesn't call
sctp_transport_set_owner() and therefore there is no asoc associated with this
packet. Probably temporary asoc just for OOTB responces is overkill, so just
introduce a check like in all other places in sctp_packet_transmit(), where
"asoc" is dereferenced.
To reproduce this, one needs to
0. ensure that sctp module is loaded (otherwise ABORT is not generated)
1. remove default route on the machine
2. while true; do
ip route del [interface-specific route]
ip route add [interface-specific route]
done
3. send enough OOTB packets (i.e. HB REQs) from another host to trigger ABORT
responce
