CVE-2025-38190

atm: Revert atm_account_tx() if copy_from_iter_full() fails.

Published Jul 4, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

atm: Revert atm_account_tx() if copy_from_iter_full() fails.

In vcc_sendmsg(), we account skb->truesize to sk->sk_wmem_alloc by
atm_account_tx().

It is expected to be reverted by atm_pop_raw() later called by
vcc->dev->ops->send(vcc, skb).

However, vcc_sendmsg() misses the same revert when copy_from_iter_full()
fails, and then we will leak a socket.

Let's factorise the revert part as atm_return_tx() and call it in
the failure path.

Note that the corresponding sk_wmem_alloc operation can be found in
alloc_tx() as of the blamed commit.
