466079: CVE-2008-4576 kernel: sctp: Fix oops when INIT-ACK indicates that peer doesn't support AUTH

The MITRE CVE dictionary describes this issue as:

sctp in Linux kernel before 2.6.25.18 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via an INIT-ACK that states the peer does not support AUTH, which causes the sctp_process_init function to clean up active transports and triggers the OOPS when the T1-Init timer expires.
