In addition, an issue has been identified that, in certain deployments, allows a guest VM to perform a denial of

- No CVE: Memory leak when destroying guest without PT devices
A further issue has been identified that, in certain deployments, might allow unprivileged code within a guest to
escalate its privilege level within that same guest. This issue has the identifier:
