CVE-2023-53825

A memory leak and queue corruption vulnerability was found in the Kernel Connection Multiplexor (KCM) implementation in the Linux kernel. In kcm_sendmsg() for SOCK_DGRAM sockets, when an error occurs during send, the MSG_MORE queue is not properly purged. This leads to memory leaks and corrupted queue state, as subsequent sendmsg() calls resume from the wrong position in the queue.

This is a memory leak and data corruption issue in the KCM socket implementation affecting datagram mode operations. The impact is limited to systems using KCM sockets with SOCK_DGRAM type.
