CVE-2024-56633 is a Linux kernel flaw in tcp_bpf_sendmsg socket-memory accounting. In the __SK_REDIRECT and __SK_DROP paths, when apply_bytes is smaller than the socket message size, the affected logic can fail to uncharge all socket-message memory after a send error or message drop. The resulting inconsistent accounting can trigger an inet_sock_destruct warning during socket teardown.
