[ Upstream commit 07f2c7ab6f8d0a7e7c5764c4e6cc9c52951b9d9c ]
When SCTP makes INIT or INIT_ACK packet the total chunk length can exceed SCTP_MAX_CHUNK_LEN which leads to kernel panic when transmitting these packets, e.g. the crash on sending INIT_ACK:

Here the chunk size for INIT_ACK packet becomes too big, mostly because of the state cookie (INIT packet has large size with many address parameters), plus additional server parameters.
Later this chunk causes the panic in skb_put_data():
skb_packet_transmit() sctp_packet_pack() skb_put_data(nskb, chunk->skb->data, chunk->skb->len);
'nskb' (head skb) was previously allocated with packet->size from u16 'chunk->chunk_hdr->length'.
As suggested by Marcelo we should check the chunk's length in _sctp_make_chunk() before trying to allocate skb for it and discard a chunk if its size bigger than SCTP_MAX_CHUNK_LEN.
