NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xorg-x11-drv-qxl package and not the xorg-x11-drv-qxl package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The QXL display driver in QXL Virtual GPU 0.1.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service (guest crash or hang) via a SPICE connection that prevents other threads from obtaining the qemu_mutex mutex. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
