From: Qing Luo <[email protected]> sctp_auth_calculate_hmac() can fail when building the association secret under memory pressure, but its void return silently leaves the HMAC digest zeroed. On the receive path, sctp_sf_authenticate() compares this zeroed digest against the peer-supplied one using crypto_memneq(), potentially accepting an all-zero HMAC from the peer if the allocation failed. A peer can reach this path with a configured but non-active shared key id, so association setup is affected too. Although the allocation failure itself is not attacker controlled, the incorrect acceptance is a security issue. Fix this by making sctp_auth_calculate_hmac() return int: - sctp_sf_authenticate() returns SCTP_IERROR_NOMEM instead of accepting a zero HMAC. - sctp_auth_chunk_verify() propagates the ierror so delayed COOKIE ECHO and other paths see NOMEM vs BAD_SIG correctly. - sctp_packet_pack() drops the packet on failure instead of transmitting a zeroed HMAC that the peer would reject. Update the declaration in auth.h accordingly.
