  Hello,

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Virtio GPU Device support is vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while processing virtio GPU command VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_RESOURCE_CREATE_2D.

A privileged user/process inside guest could use this flaw to exhaust host memory resulting in DoS.
