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

    tcp_bpf: Fix the sk_mem_uncharge logic in tcp_bpf_sendmsg

    The current sk memory accounting logic in __SK_REDIRECT is pre-uncharging
    tosend bytes, which is either msg->sg.size or a smaller value apply_bytes.

    Potential problems with this strategy are as follows:

    - If the actual sent bytes are smaller than tosend, we need to charge some
      bytes back, as in line 487, which is okay but seems not clean.

    - When tosend is set to apply_bytes, as in line 417, and (ret < 0), we may
      miss uncharging (msg->sg.size - apply_bytes) bytes.

    [...]
    415 tosend = msg->sg.size;
    416 if (psock->apply_bytes && psock->apply_bytes < tosend)
    417   tosend = psock->apply_bytes;
    [...]
    443 sk_msg_return(sk, msg, tosend);
    444 release_sock(sk);
    446 origsize = msg->sg.size;
    447 ret = tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir(sk_redir, redir_ingress,
    448                             msg, tosend, flags);
    449 sent = origsize - msg->sg.size;
    [...]
    454 lock_sock(sk);
    455 if (unlikely(ret < 0)) {
    456   int free = sk_msg_free_nocharge(sk, msg);
    458   if (!cork)
    459     *copied -= free;
    460 }
    [...]
    487 if (eval == __SK_REDIRECT)
    488   sk_mem_charge(sk, tosend - sent);
    [...]

    When running the selftest test_txmsg_redir_wait_sndmem with txmsg_apply,
    the following warning will be reported:

    In __SK_REDIRECT, a more concise way is delaying the uncharging after sent
    bytes are finalized, and uncharge this value. When (ret < 0), we shall
    invoke sk_msg_free.

    Same thing happens in case __SK_DROP, when tosend is set to apply_bytes,
    we may miss uncharging (msg->sg.size - apply_bytes) bytes. The same
    warning will be reported in selftest.

    [...]
    468 case __SK_DROP:
    469 default:
    470 sk_msg_free_partial(sk, msg, tosend);
    471 sk_msg_apply_bytes(psock, tosend);
    472 *copied -= (tosend + delta);
    473 return -EACCES;
    [...]

    So instead of sk_msg_free_partial we can do sk_msg_free here.
