Amazon Linux AMI 2: CVE-2021-46956: Security patch for kernel (Multiple Advisories)

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:
