Description Prasad Pandit 2017-02-22 19:57:47 UTC
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VNC display driver support is vulnerable
to an out-of-bounds memory access issue. It could occur while refreshing
the vnc display surface area in 'vnc_refresh_server_surface'.

A user/process inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process
resulting in DoS.

Older versions of Qemu are affected, latest upstream releases are not.
