[PATCH] SCTP: Validate the parameter length in HB-ACK chunk (CVE-2006-1857)
If SCTP receives a badly formatted HB-ACK chunk, it is possible
that we may access invalid memory and potentially have a buffer
overflow. We should really make sure that the chunk format is
what we expect, before attempting to touch the data.
