Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-12-06 16:15:22 UTC 
From ${URL} :

Quick Emulator 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.
