Vulnerability from github
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.
