About this tag
The ATM CLIP tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the Linux kernel's ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) Classical IP over ATM networking driver. Recent threads focus on two CVEs: CVE-2025-38459, an infinite recursion crash in clip_push that can be triggered by a local ioctl sequence, and CVE-2025-38460, a null-pointer dereference in the same code. Both vulnerabilities were reported via syzbot, fixed upstream, and incorporated into vendor kernels. One thread also examines Microsoft's Azure Linux attestation regarding CVE-2025-38460. These topics are relevant for system administrators managing Linux systems with ATM networking enabled.
