Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-24 12:03:58 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: Destroy target device if coalesced MMIO unregistration fails

Destroy and free the target coalesced MMIO device if unregistering said
device fails.  As clearly noted in the code, kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev()
does not destroy the target device.
