Description Prasad Pandit 2016-12-07 07:44:01 UTC 
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Virtio GPU Device emulator support is
vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while destroying gpu
resource object in 'virtio_gpu_resource_destroy'.

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