  Hello,

A null pointer dereference issue was found the QXL VGA card emulator of QEMU. 
It could occur while releasing resources allocated for a SPICE server thread 
in interface_release_resources().

A guest user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in DoS 
scenario.

Upstream patch:

This issue was reported by Sergej Schumilo, Cornelius Aschermann and Simon 
Wrner of Ruhr University Bochum.
