UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38245: High severity ubuntu/linux vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: atm: Release atmdevmutex after removing procfs in atmdevderegister(). syzbot reported a warning below during atmdevregister(). [0] Before creating a new device and procfs/sysfs for it, atmdevregister() looks up a duplicated device by atmdevlookup(). These operations are done under atmdevmutex. However, when removing a device in atmdevderegister(), it releases the mutex just after removing the device from the list that atmdevlookup() iterates over. So, there will be a small race window where the device does not exist on the device list but procfs/sysfs are still not removed, triggering the splat. Let's hold the mutex until procfs/sysfs are removed in atmdevderegister().
