SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY
A local attacker can read a memory fragment of VGA Emulator of
Qemu, in order to obtain sensitive information.
Impacted products: Fedora, Unix (platform)
Severity: 1/4
Creation date: 08/09/2014
DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The Qemu product offers a VGA graphic emulator.
However, the hw/display/vga.c and ui/spice-display.c files do not
correctly manage the display size, and do not initialize a memory
area before returning it to the user.
A local attacker can therefore read a memory fragment of VGA
Emulator of Qemu, in order to obtain sensitive information.
