Description

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6. svm_cpu_uninit in arch/x86/kvm/svm.c has a memory leak, aka CID-d80b64ff297e. NOTE: third parties dispute this issue because it's a one-time leak at the boot, the size is negligible, and it can't be triggered at will

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (< 5.6) • canonical ubuntu linux 18.04 • canonical ubuntu linux 19.10 • canonical ubuntu linux 20.04 • debian debian linux 10.0
