Tracker summary

CVE-2023-6683: 1 source package rows (qemu); 56 state rows across 3 repos (3.19-community, 3.22-community, edge-community); fixed 0, open 56.

Description:

A flaw was found in the QEMU built-in VNC server while processing ClientCutText messages. The qemu_clipboard_request() function can be reached before vnc_server_cut_text_caps() was called and had the chance to initialize the clipboard peer, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. This could allow a malicious authenticated VNC client to crash QEMU and trigger a denial of service.
