for Centos:7
relevant fixed versions and status.
A flaw was found in the QXL display device emulation in QEMU. A double fetch of guest controlled values cursor->header.width
and cursor->header.height
can lead to the allocation of a small cursor object followed by a subsequent heap-based buffer overflow. A malicious privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host or potentially execute arbitrary code within the context of the QEMU process.
