  Hello,

Quick Emulator built with the Virtio GPU Device emulator support is vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while updating the cursor data in update_cursor_data_virgl.

A guest user/process could use this flaw to leak host memory bytes, resulting in DoS for a host.

Upstream patch:
