Summary
CVE-2025-38185 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.96.1-1
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

atm: atmtcp: Free invalid length skb in atmtcpcsend().

syzbot reported the splat below. [0]

vcc_sendmsg() copies data passed from userspace to skb and passes it to vcc->dev->ops->send().

atmtcpcsend() accesses skb->data as struct atmtcp_hdr after checking if skb->len is 0, but it's not enough.

Also, when skb->len == 0, skb and sk (vcc) were leaked because devkfreeskb() is not called and skwmemalloc adjustment is missing to revert atmaccounttx() in vccsendmsg(), which is expected to be done in atmpop_raw().

Let's properly free skb with an invalid length in atmtcpcsend().
