Bug 2376367 (CVE-2025-38185)

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

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

syzbot reported the splat below. [0]

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

atmtcp_c_send() 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
dev_kfree_skb() is not called and sk_wmem_alloc adjustment is missing
to revert atm_account_tx() in vcc_sendmsg(), which is expected
to be done in atm_pop_raw().

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