CVE-2025-38323 (published 2025-07-10)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: atm: add lec_mutex

syzbot found its way in net/atm/lec.c, and found an error path
in lecd_attach() could leave a dangling pointer in dev_lec[].

Add a mutex to protect dev_lecp[] uses from lecd_attach(),
lec_vcc_attach() and lec_mcast_attach().

Following patch will use this mutex for /proc/net/atm/lec.
