Improper resource allocation In linux

Description

A socket leak vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's TLS handshake subsystem. When handshake_req_submit() fails before the request is hashed, it does not restore the original sk->sk_destruct pointer. This causes handshake_sk_destruct() to return early without calling the original destructor, resulting in a socket resource leak that accumulates over time.

Mitigation

Update Impact
