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

vsock: Fix memory leak in vmci_transport_recv_dgram_cb()

During the closure of a datagram socket, the vmci_transport_recv_dgram_cb()
function may be called, which will add the packets
to the socket's backlog; then, after the receive queue is cleared,
the __release_sock() function will move the packet back from the socket's
backlog to the receive queue, which will lead to a memory leak.

  (!) skb_queue_purge(&sk->sk_receive_queue)

      release_sock
        __release_sock
          // move all packets from the backlog
          // to the receive queue
   (!)    sk_backlog_rcv
            vsock_queue_rcv_skb
            [...]
              __sock_queue_rcv_skb
                if (!sock_flag(sk, SOCK_DEAD))
                  // Since the socket is "dead", the function will not
                  // be called
                  sk->sk_data_ready(sk)
        sock_release_ownership(sk);
        sock_put

Add a receive queue cleanup in the socket destructor to fix this.
