    in the NE2000 NIC emulation. A privileged guest user could use this

    potentially to execute arbitrary code on the host with the
    privileges of the hosting QEMU process.

    Qinghao Tang of QIHU 360 Inc. discovered an infinite loop issue in

CVE-2015-6855

    Qinghao Tang of QIHU 360 Inc. discovered a flaw in the IDE
    subsystem in QEMU occurring while executing IDE's
    WIN_READ_NATIVE_MAX command to determine the maximum size of a
    drive. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to mount a
    denial of service (QEMU process crash).

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed
