hw/display/vmware_vga: Don't allow guest to trigger long running loop in host
The code in the SVGA_CMD_DEFINE_ALPHA_CURSOR handler in vmsvga_fifo_run()
basically does:
x = vmsvga_fifo_read(s);
y = vmsvga_fifo_read(s);
args = x * y;
goto badcmd;
...
badcmd:
len -= args;
if (len < 0) {
goto rewind;
}
while (args--) {
vmsvga_fifo_read(s);
}
Thus by supplying huge values for x and y that overflow the result of
the multiplication, the guest can trigger a long-running loop here
that burns the host's CPU cycles.
Add some sanity checks so that this cannot happen anymore.
