Subject: [v17.11 PATCH v2 2/3] vhost: fix possible denial of service on
SET_VRING_NUM
vhost_user_set_vring_num() performs multiple allocations
without checking whether data were previously allocated.
It may cause a denial of service because of the memory leaks
that happen if a malicious vhost-user master keeps sending
VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_NUM request until the slave runs out
of memory.
This issue has been assigned CVE-2019-14818
Reported-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>
