[PATCH net v3 2/3] sctp: Prevent TOCTOU out-of-bounds write

From: Stefan Wiehler

Date: Tue Oct 28 2025 - 12:15:59 EST


For the following path not holding the sock lock,

sctp_diag_dump() -> sctp_for_each_endpoint() -> sctp_ep_dump()

make sure not to exceed bounds in case the address list has grown
between buffer allocation (time-of-check) and write (time-of-use).
