      <title>CVE-2025-38666 — net: appletalk: Fix use-after-free in AARP proxy probe</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-38666</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;net: appletalk: Fix use-after-free in AARP proxy probe&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The AARP proxy‐probe routine (aarp_proxy_probe_network) sends a probe,
releases the aarp_lock, sleeps, then re-acquires the lock.  During that
window an expire timer thread (__aarp_expire_timer) can remove and
kfree() the same entry, leading to a use-after-free.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;race condition:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;cpu 0                          |            cpu 1

    mod_timer()                         |   lock(aarp_lock) // LOCK!!
    timeout around 200ms                |   alloc(aarp_entry)
    and then call                       |   proxies[hash] = aarp_entry
    aarp_expire_timeout()               |   aarp_send_probe()
                                        |   unlock(aarp_lock) // UNLOCK!!
    lock(aarp_lock) // LOCK!!           |   msleep(100);
