kernel: Linux kernel: vhost-vdpa memory leak leading to Denial of Service

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vhost-vdpa component. This memory leak vulnerability occurs when an application using vhost-vdpa fails to properly invalidate I/O Translation Lookaside Buffer IOTLB entries or crashes. A local attacker or application could exploit this flaw, leading to memor...
