Description of the problem: For a TCP-style socket, while processing the COOKIE_ECHO chunk in sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce(), after it has passed a series of sanity check, a new association would be created in sctp_unpack_cookie(), but afterwards, some processing maybe failed, and sctp_association_free() will be called to free the previously allocated association, in sctp_association_free(), sk_ack_backlog value is decremented for this socket, since the initial value for sk_ack_backlog is 0, after the decrement, it will be 65535, a wrap-around problem happens, and if we want to establish new associations afterward in the same socket, ABORT would be triggered since sctp deem the accept queue as full.
A remote attacker can block further connection to the particular sctp server socket by sending a specially crafted sctp packet.
