In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: kvm: fix vector context allocation leak
When the second kzalloc (host_context.vector.datap) fails in
kvm_riscv_vcpu_alloc_vector_context, the first allocation
(guest_context.vector.datap) is leaked. Free it before returning.
