Description Carlos López 2022-09-27 11:12:54 UTC
rh#2129739

An integer underflow issue was found in the QEMU VNC server while processing ClientCutText messages in the extended format [1]. A malicious client could use this flaw to make QEMU unresponsive by sending a specially crafted payload message, resulting in a denial of service condition.

Comment 1 Carlos López 2022-09-27 11:16:47 UTC
Clipboard support was added in 0bf41cab93e5c72dcda7 ("ui/vnc: clipboard support"), which is only present in SUSE:SLE-15-SP4:Update and Factory, so only those are affected.

Proposed patch (not merged yet):
