Description

Several memory leaks were found in the virtio vhost-user GPU device (vhost-user-gpu) of QEMU. They exist in contrib/vhost-user-gpu/vhost-user-gpu.c and contrib/vhost-user-gpu/virgl.c due to improper release of memory (i.e., free) after effective lifetime.

Statement

This issue does not affect the versions of qemu-kvm as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7 and 8, as Virgl was not enabled in these versions. Support for Virgl was enabled as technical preview in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Virtualization 8.2, and later disabled in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Virtualization 8.3.
