CVE-2021-47060

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) subsystem. The issue arises when looking for coalesced Memory-Mapped I/O (MMIO) zones if the bus is destroyed. The vulnerability is due to a failure in memory allocation for a new instance of the bus during the unregistration process. If the allocation fails, the system continues to walk through coalesced MMIO zones. This issue leads to a use-after-free scenario as the bus and devices are destroyed without notifying the caller.
