From ${URL} : Quick emulator(Qemu) built with the VGA display emulator support is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read access issue. It could occur while reading VGA memory to update graphics display. A privileges user/process inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process on the host resulting in DoS situation. Upstream patch: --------------- -> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-08/msg04684.html @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.
