A memory leakage issue was found in the way QEMU initialised its VMWare's paravirtual RDMA device. In pvrdma_realize() routine, if an error occurred, it did not release memory resources allocated to various objects. A guest user/process could use this flaw to leak host memory, resulting in DoS for host.
