Title:CVE-2019-8956 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) - medium.
Description:In the Linux Kernel before versions 4.20.8 and 4.19.21 a use-after-free error in the "sctp_sendmsg()" function (net/sctp/socket.c) when handling SCTP_SENDALL flag can be exploited to corrupt memory. Jakub Jirasek discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
