6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Yuxiang Yang <[email protected]>

commit 9d8da8e0a9bce4a340af60dd0446bc7eb8d07587 upstream.

sctp_unpack_cookie() skips cookie expiration checks whenever an
association already exists.  This is broader than the exception in
RFC 9260 Section 5.2.4.

For an existing association, Section 5.2.4 permits an expired State
Cookie only when both Verification Tags in the cookie match the current
association.  Otherwise, the packet SHOULD be discarded and a Stale
Cookie ERROR MUST be sent.

The broad check lets an expired Action A restart cookie reach
sctp_sf_do_dupcook_a().  In a runtime test with the default 60 second
cookie lifetime, replaying such a cookie after 65 seconds returned a
COOKIE-ACK and restarted the association.

Check cookie expiration unless both Verification Tags match.  This
preserves the Action D exception for a lost COOKIE ACK while rejecting
expired cookies in all other cases.
