[2.6.20.17 review 03/58] SCTP scope_id handling fix

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Wed Aug 22 2007 - 04:53:10 EST


SCTP: Add scope_id validation for link-local binds

SCTP currently permits users to bind to link-local addresses,
but doesn't verify that the scope id specified at bind matches
the interface that the address is configured on. It was report
that this can hang a system.
