{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38459","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  atm: clip: Fix infinite recursive call of clip_push().  syzbot reported the splat below. [0]  This happens if we call ioctl(ATMARP_MKIP) more than once.  During the first call, clip_mkip() sets clip_push() to vcc-\u003epush(), and the second call copies it to clip_vcc-\u003eold_push().  Later, when the socket is close()d, vcc_destroy_socket() passes NULL skb to clip_push(), which calls clip_vcc-\u003eold_push(), triggering the infinite recursion.  Let's prevent the second ioctl(ATMARP_MKIP) by checking vcc-\u003euser_back, which is allocated by the first call as clip_vcc.  Note also that we use lock_sock() to prevent racy calls.
