  Hello,

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VMware-SVGA "chipset" emulation support is vulnerable to an OOB stack memory write issue. It could occur while processing VGA commands in 'vmsvga_fifo_run' routine.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process resulting in DoS.
