This seems a security issue to me - you can have a backdoor listening on SCTP and it won't show in netstat. And even established connections - like a file transfer or shell.
Red Hat & SuSE have had SCTP patches in their netstat flavors for years. And the debian bug has patches. What's the holdup? Simple tests: netsend sctp receive (opens a listening socket on port 6666) socat SCTP-LISTEN:8080 TCP-CONNECT:localhost:22 (proxies ssh on sctp/8080) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174858 Title: 'netstat' doesn't check for sockets using SCTP protocol -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
