CVE-2017-13672
QEMU (aka Quick Emulator), when built with the VGA display emulator support, allows local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and QEMU process crash) via vectors involving display update.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.95%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
