In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtiofs: fix memory leak in virtio_fs_probe()
When accidentally passing twice the same tag to qemu, kmemleak ended up
reporting a memory leak in virtiofs. Also, looking at the log I saw the
following error (that's when I realised the duplicated tag):
virtiofs: probe of virtio5 failed with error -17
Here's the kmemleak log for reference:
unreferenced object 0xffff888103d47800 (size 1024):

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
