Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-09-08 09:19:03 UTC
From ${URL} :

An information leakage flaw was found in Qemu's VGA emulator. It could lead to
leaking host memory bytes to a VNC client. It could occur when a guest GOP
driver attempts to set a high display resolution.

A privileged user/program able to set such high resolution could use this flaw
to leak host memory bytes.

Hello.

Are there specific patches for 2.1.1 included? Just asking because i had a lot of problems with this version. For example this one:
