Ok, I can confirm the ppa fixing this case. And OTOH it is fixed in qemu >=2.7.
Furthermore the change is very small and easily reviewable (essentially only changing a malloc to a malloc0 to initialize properly). I'm marking the tasks accordingly and prep this as an SRU. ** Also affects: qemu (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1705743 Title: qemu-system-x86 crashes when VNC connection is established To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1705743/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
