CVE-2025-38459 is an infinite-recursion vulnerability in the Linux kernel ATM Classical IP (CLIP) subsystem. Calling the ATMARP_MKIP ioctl more than once on an ATM virtual circuit causes clip_push() and clip_vcc->old_push() to form a recursive call path. When the socket is subsequently closed, the destruction path passes a NULL socket buffer to clip_push(), triggering unbounded recursion. The resulting kernel-stack overflow crashes the kernel.
