CVE-2022-48764 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: x86: Free kvm_cpuid_entry2 array on post-KVM_RUN KVM_SET_CPUID2

Free the \struct kvm_cpuid_entry2\ array on successful post-KVM_RUN KVM_SET_CPUID2 to fix a memory leak the callers of kvm_set_cpuid() free the array only on failure.
