Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) subsystem. An authenticated local attacker could exploit a Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerability in the /proc/net/atm/lec handling. This flaw occurs due to improper dev_put() calls without prior dev_hold() calls, leading to an imbalance in reference counting. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to achieve privilege escalation or cause a denial of service.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-07-04 14:02:22 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: atm: fix /proc/net/atm/lec handling

/proc/net/atm/lec must ensure safety against dev_lec[] changes.

It appears it had dev_put() calls without prior dev_hold(),
leading to imbalance and UAF.
