QEMU is an open source simulator software.

Qemu kvm has a VNC Password Vulnerability. Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability to bypass security restrictions to obtain sensitive information or perform unauthorized operations.

You can set or clear the VNC password when using the standard input/output monitor and VNC display. This also sets or disables VNC authentication. Set the VNC password to a null string to secretly disable all authentication.
