- The cirrus_do_copy function in hw/display/cirrus_vga.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator), when cirrus graphics
mode is VGA, allows local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and
QEMU process crash) via vectors involving blit pitch values. (CVE-2016-9922)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
