"When guests are terminated, various pieces of cleanup need carrying out. The cleaning up of PCI devices which were
assigned to guests, and the associated removal of tracking structures for IRQs used by the devices occurs relatively
early in the process. Unfortunately after that point the guest about to be terminated could cause its device model (DM)
to re-establish such tracking structures, by having it bind one or more IRQs anew. While some of those tracking
structures would still be cleaned up later on, at least one would not be.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
