It was found that the Cirrus blit region checks were insufficient. Cirrus is the default graphical adapter for x86 in qemu in any released version, and it's also used for vnc (spice uses qxl). A privileged guest user could use this flaw to to write outside of vram allocated buffer boundaries in the host's qemu process with attacker provided data.
