From ${URL} : Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VNC display driver support is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds memory access issue. It could occur while refreshing the vnc display surface area in 'vnc_refresh_server_surface'. A user/process inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process resulting in DoS. Older versions of Qemu are affected, latest upstream releases are not.
