[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] CVE-2015-1779: fix denial of service in VNC websockets

[Daniel P. Berrange]

The VNC websockets protocol decoder has two places where it did
not correctly limit its resource usage when processing data from
the client. This can be abused by a malicious client to cause QEMU
to consume all system memory, unless it is otherwise limited by
ulimits and/or cgroups. These problems can be triggered in the
websockets layer before the VNC protocol actually starts, so no
client authentication will have taken place at this point.
