Description Prasad Pandit 2016-12-07 07:08:55 UTC 
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Virtio GPU Device emulator support is
vulnerable to an information leakage issue. It could occur while processing
'VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_GET_CAPSET' command.

A guest user/process could use this flaw to leak contents of the host memory
bytes.
