Thanks Marcelo,
security_sctp_assoc_request() is not supposed to call on the client side,
as we can see on TCP. The client side's labels should be set to the
connection by selinux_inet_conn_request(). But we can't do it based
on the current hooks.
The root problem is that the current hooks incorrectly treat sctp_endpoint
in SCTP as request_sock in TCP, while it should've been sctp_association.
We need a bigger change on the current security sctp code.
I will post the patch series in hand, please take a look.
