Title
vNUMA domain cleanup may race other operations
Summary
Accessing the vNUMA configuration data of a guest is still possible when
domain destruction has already started. The cleaning up of that
configuration information is not synchronized with its retrieval by a
device model controlling the guest.
Severity
