CVE-2022-48764

The Linux kernel 's KVM virtualization subsystem is vulnerable to a memory leak in the x86 architecture. The issue stems from the kvm_set_cpuid() function in arch/x86/kvm/cpuid.c , which fails to free the struct kvm_cpuid_entry2 array upon successful completion of a post-KVM_RUN KVM_SET_CPUID{,2}...
