Fixes an out-of-bounds read/write access flaw which was found
in the way QEMU's VGA emulation with VESA BIOS Extensions (VBE)
support performed read/write operations using I/O port methods.

A privileged guest user could use this flaw to execute arbitrary
code on the host with the privileges of the host's QEMU process.

+Subject: [PATCH] vga: fix banked access bounds checking (CVE-2016-3710)
+
+vga allows banked access to video memory using the window at 0xa00000
+and it supports a different access modes with different address
+calculations.
+
+The VBE bochs extentions support banked access too, using the
+VBE_DISPI_INDEX_BANK register.  The code tries to take the different
+address calculations into account and applies different limits to
+VBE_DISPI_INDEX_BANK depending on the current access mode.
+
+Which is probably effective in stopping misprogramming by accident.
+But from a security point of view completely useless as an attacker
+can easily change access modes after setting the bank register.
+
+Drop the bogus check, add range checks to vga_mem_{readb,writeb}
+instead.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport [from v2.6.0-rc5~1^2~4
