Memory leak in the virgl_cmd_resource_unref function in hw/display/virtio-gpu-3d.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host memory consumption) via a large number of VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_RESOURCE_UNREF commands sent without detaching the backing storage beforehand.
