Subject: CVE-2018-7858 Qemu: cirrus: OOB access when updating vga display

   Hello,

Quick emulator(QEMU) built with the Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator support is 
vulnerable to an out-of-bounds access issue. It could occur while updating VGA 
display, after guest has adjusted the display dimensions.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process 
resulting in DoS.
