Description Prasad J Pandit 2014-09-08 02:32:26 EDT
An information leakage flaw was found in Qemu's VGA emulator. It could lead to
leaking host memory bytes to a VNC client. It could occur when a guest GOP
driver attempts to set a high display resolution.

A privileged user/program able to set such high resolution could use this flaw
to leak host memory bytes.
