It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-38546 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38546/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38546/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38546","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38546/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38546","record":{"aliases":["AZL-66344","AZL-73578","BELL-CVE-2025-38546","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38546","GHSA-f6c4-25w9-79f8","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-38546","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-38546","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38546","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38546"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel ATM CLIP module allows attackers to exhaust system memory, causing denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\natm: clip: Fix memory leak of struct clip_vcc.\n\nioctl(ATMARP_MKIP) allocates struct clip_vcc and set it to\nvcc-\u003euser_back.\n\nThe code assumes that vcc_destroy_socket() passes NULL skb\nto vcc-\u003epush() when the socket is close()d, and then clip_push()\nfrees clip_vcc.\n\nHowever, ioctl(ATMARPD_CTRL) sets NULL to vcc-\u003epush() in\natm_init_atmarp(), resulting in memory leak.\n\nLet's serialise two ioctl() by lock_sock() and check vcc-\u003epush()\nin atm_init_atmarp() to prevent memleak.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"atm: clip: Fix memory leak of struct clip_vcc.","id":"CVE-2025-38546","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"iio: adc: axp20x_adc: Add missing sentinel to AXP717 ADC channel maps","id":"CVE-2025-38547"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw-nuss: Fix skb size by accounting for skb_shared_info","id":"CVE-2025-38545"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-08-16","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"ProFTPD Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2015-3306","kev_date_added":"2026-10-08","published":"2015-05-18"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"RoundCube Webmail Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2025-49113","kev_date_added":"2026-02-20","published":"2025-06-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU InetUtils Argument Injection","id":"CVE-2026-24061","kev_date_added":"2026-01-26","published":"2026-01-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions","id":"CVE-2025-39682","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-9680","kev_date_added":"2024-10-15","published":"2024-10-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"RARLAB UnRAR Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2022-30333","kev_date_added":"2022-08-09","published":"2022-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Roundcube Webmail SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-44026","kev_date_added":"2023-06-22","published":"2021-11-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel ATM CLIP module allows attackers to exhaust system memory, causing denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38546/"}
