A fix is available — apply it.

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->push(), and the second call copies it to clip_vcc->old_push().

Later, when the socket is close()d, vcc_destroy_socket() passes NULL skb to clip_push(), which calls clip_vcc->old_push(), triggering the infinite recursion.

Let's prevent the second ioctl(ATMARP_MKIP) by checking vcc->user_back, which is allocated by the first call as clip_vcc.

Note also that we use lock_sock() to prevent racy calls.
