Security Fix(es):
* A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in QEMU’s Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA
emulator’s VNC display driver support; the issue could occur when a VNC
client attempted to update its display after a VGA operation is performed
by a guest. A privileged user/process inside a guest could use this flaw
to crash the QEMU process or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the
host with privileges of the QEMU process. (CVE-2016-9603)
