Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-11-11 13:52:20 UTC
From ${URL} :

A flaw was found in the way guest provided parameter validation was performed
in vmware-vga driver in rectangle handling functionality.

A privileged guest user could use this flaw to write into qemu address space
on the host, pontentially escalating their privileges to that of qemu host
process.

Proposed upstream fix:

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

there's a few CLs that went in ... not sure how many matter here.  then again, qemu-2.2.0 is in the pipeline (already have rc's out), so would be easier to wait for that.  i don't think this is a critical bug as i'm not sure the vmware vga driver is commonly used.
