Trinity (the syscall fuzzer) discovered a memory leak in SCTP,
reproducible e.g. with the sendto() syscall by passing invalid
user space pointer in the second argument:

  #include <string.h>
  #include <arpa/inet.h>
  #include <sys/socket.h>

  int main(void)
  {
          int fd;
          struct sockaddr_in sa;

          fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 132 /*IPPROTO_SCTP*/);
          if (fd < 0)
                  return 1;

          memset(&sa, 0, sizeof(sa));
          sa.sin_family = AF_INET;
          sa.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
          sa.sin_port = htons(11111);

          sendto(fd, NULL, 1, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&sa, sizeof(sa));

          return 0;
  }

As far as I can tell, the leak has been around since ~2003.
