Now sctp uses the transport without holding it in sctp_hash_cmp,
it can cause a use-after-free panic. As after it get transport from
hashtable, another CPU may free it, then the members it accesses
may be unavailable memory.
How old is this bug?
I think since:
$ git describe 33c1529
v4.4-rc7-1158-g33c1529
Is it in any release kernels?
yes

it was found in s390x, we could not reproduce it in x86_64 by now.
Maybe it needs low configuration cpu to reproduce.
