A vulnerability in the gopacket library's SCTP protocol decoder allows crafted SCTP segments to cause runtime panics due to out-of-bounds slice reads. This occurs because sub-decoders for SCTP chunk types do not validate chunk lengths against required minimums, leading to crashes when processing malicious input. The issue affects all released versions through v1.7.1 and the current master branch. It was fixed in version 1.7.2 by adding proper length checks in the sub-decoders, preventing panics and returning decode errors instead.
