CFRelease(s) should close and destroy the socket.

edit (after a bit more research)

According to the documentation, the proper way to close the socket is by invalidating it (similar to how a Timer works, apparently). So you'll want to do:

CFSocketInvalidate(s);  //closes the socket, unless you set the option to not close on invalidation
CFRelease(s);  //balance the create
