NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu package and not the qemu package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The virtio_gpu_set_scanout function in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) built with Virtio GPU Device emulator support allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and process crash) via a scanout id in a VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_SET_SCANOUT command larger than num_scanouts.
