  Hello,

Qemu emulator built with the VNC display driver is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while processing a CLIENT_CUT_TEXT message with specially crafted payload message.

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

Upstream fix:
