-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,An out-of-bounds r/w access issue was reported in the Qemu emulator's VGA module.
Qemu VGA module allows banked access to video memory using the window at 0xa00000 and it supports different access modes with different address calculations. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to exceed the bank address window and write beyond the said memory area, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution with privileges of the Qemu process on a host.
