NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kselftests-kmp-default package and not the kselftests-kmp-default package as distributed by SLES.

In the Linux kernel before 4.20.8, kvm_ioctl_create_device in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c mishandles reference counting because of a race condition, leading to a use-after-free.
