CVE-2016-9845
QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) built with the Virtio GPU Device emulator support is vulnerable to an information leakage issue.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.42%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) built with the Virtio GPU Device emulator support is vulnerable to an information leakage issue. It could occur while processing 'VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_GET_CAPSET_INFO' command. A guest user/process could use this flaw to leak contents of the host memory bytes.
