CVE-2025-23142 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel SCTP sendmsg path. SCTP can reuse an association and transport selected from the socket endpoint and destination address, then assign that transport to outbound message chunks. If a concurrent thread removes the selected transport by unbinding an SCTP address after chunk setup but before transmission, the send path can later access freed transport data in sctp_outq_select_transport(). The race is reachable when a full send buffer causes the sending thread to temporarily release the socket lock while waiting for buffer capacity.
