# CVE-2021-47397

> 7.5 HIGH

## Beschreibung

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sctp: break out if skb_header_pointer returns NULL in sctp_rcv_ootb

We should always check if skb_header_pointer's return is NULL before
using it, otherwise it may cause null-ptr-deref, as syzbot reported:

  KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]
