Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf, sockmap: Fix memleak in tcp_bpf_sendmsg while sk msg is full

If tcp_bpf_sendmsg() is running while sk msg is full. When sk_msg_alloc()
returns -ENOMEM error, tcp_bpf_sendmsg() goes to wait_for_memory. If partial
memory has been alloced by sk_msg_alloc(), that is, msg_tx->sg.size is
greater than osize after sk_msg_alloc(), memleak occurs. To fix we use
sk_msg_trim() to release the allocated memory, then goto wait for memory.

Other call paths of sk_msg_alloc() have the similar issue, such as
tls_sw_sendmsg(), so handle sk_msg_trim logic inside sk_msg_alloc(),
as Cong Wang suggested.

This issue can cause the following info:
