The vmware-vga driver (hw/display/vmware_vga.c) in QEMU allows local guest users to write to qemu memory locations and gain privileges via unspecified parameters related to rectangle handling.
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
