Summary
CVE-2025-38546 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.200.1-1
Details

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

atm: clip: Fix memory leak of struct clip_vcc.

ioctl(ATMARPMKIP) allocates struct clipvcc and set it to vcc->user_back.

The code assumes that vccdestroysocket() passes NULL skb to vcc->push() when the socket is close()d, and then clippush() frees clipvcc.

However, ioctl(ATMARPDCTRL) sets NULL to vcc->push() in atminit_atmarp(), resulting in memory leak.

Let's serialise two ioctl() by locksock() and check vcc->push() in atminit_atmarp() to prevent memleak.
