FKIE_CVE-2008-4539
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2008-12-29 15:24 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:58
Severity
Summary
Heap-based buffer overflow in the Cirrus VGA implementation in (1) KVM before kvm-82 and (2) QEMU on Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu might allow local users to gain privileges by using the VNC console for a connection, aka the LGD-54XX "bitblt" heap overflow. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2007-1320.
