Hello,Quick emulator(Qemu) built with the VGA display emulator support is vulnerable to an assert failure issue. It could occur while updating graphics display, due to miscalculating region for dirty bitmap snapshot in split screen mode.
A privileged user/process inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process on the host resulting in DoS.
