In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Free kvm_cpuid_entry2 array on post-KVM_RUN KVM_SET_CPUID{,2}
Free the "struct kvm_cpuid_entry2" array on successful post-KVM_RUN
KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} to fix a memory leak, the callers of kvm_set_cpuid()
free the array only on failure.
BUG: memory leak
