CVE-2025-39812
sctp: initialize more fields in sctp_v6_from_sk()
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: initialize more fields in sctp_v6_from_sk() syzbot found that sin6_scope_id was not properly initialized, leading to undefined behavior. Clear sin6_scope_id and sin6_flowinfo.
