CVE-2017-5578 Qemu: display: virtio-gpu: host memory leakage in virtio_gpu_resource_attach_backing
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Virtio GPU Device emulator support is
vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while processing
'VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_RESOURCE_ATTACH_BACKING' command.
A guest user/process could use this flaw to leak host memory resulting in DoS.
