  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 refreshing vnc surface area, in case the initial pitch was negative in cirrus_invalidate_region.

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