  Hello,

Quick emulator(QEMU) built with the Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator support is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds access issue. It could occur while updating VGA display, after guest has adjusted the display dimensions.

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