Description Prasad Pandit 2016-09-09 13:01:55 UTC 
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VMware-SVGA "chipset" emulation support
is vulnerable to an OOB stack memory write issue. It could occur while
processing VGA commands in 'vmsvga_fifo_run' routine.

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