At red-parse-qxl.cpp#L535

        if (qxl_flags & QXL_BITMAP_DIRECT) {
            red->u.bitmap.data = red_get_image_data_flat(slots, group_id,
                                                         qxl->bitmap.data,
                                                         bitmap_size);

Since qxl->bitmap.data may from the guest, an attacker can make the
memslot_get_virt() check in red_get_image_data_flat() fail and
return a nullptr.

Then at red-parse-qxl.cpp#L550

        if (qxl_flags & QXL_BITMAP_UNSTABLE) {
            red->u.bitmap.data->flags |= SPICE_CHUNKS_FLAGS_UNSTABLE;
        }

qxl_flags is assigned as qxl->bitmap.flags before, which can also be
controlled by the attacker, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference.

This dereference seems to be introduced by commit 5ac88aa7
