The 'sched' index value must be checked before accessing an element
of the 'sctp_sched_ops' array. Otherwise, it can lead to buffer overflow.
OOB access ?
My thought as well.
I'm sorry. Yes, I meant out-of-bounds access.

But it's not true because it does not happen in the first place.

Note that it's harmless since the 'sched' parameter is checked before
calling 'sctp_sched_set_sched'.

I'd just remove this check instead because the same test is done
in the caller side, sctp_setsockopt_scheduler(), and this errno
is never returned.

This unnecessary test confuses a reader like sched could be over
SCTP_SS_MAX here.
It's actualy better to keep the test here and remove it from the
callers: they don't need to know the specifics, and further new calls
will be protected already.
I agree that the check should be removed, but I think it's better to
keep the test on the calling side, because params->assoc_value is set as
the default "stream schedule" for the socket and it needs to be checked too.

static int sctp_setsockopt_scheduler(..., struct sctp_assoc_value
*params, ...)
{
...
   if (params->assoc_id == SCTP_FUTURE_ASSOC ||
       params->assoc_id == SCTP_ALL_ASSOC)
       sp->default_ss = params->assoc_value;
...
}

Since the OOB access does not happen, I think this patch should
go to net-next without the Fixes tag after the merge window.
Yup.

Thanks,
