Description Prasad Pandit 2016-12-07 06:53:30 UTC 
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Virtio GPU Device emulator support is
vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while updating the cursor
data in update_cursor_data_virgl.

A guest user/process could use this flaw to leak host memory bytes, resulting
in DoS for a host.
