Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-04-15 07:01:02 UTC 
From ${URL} :

Qemu emulator built with the Task Priority Register(TPR) optimizations for 32-bit Windows guests, 
is vulnerable to a information leakage issue. It could
occur while accessing Task Priority Register(TPR).

A privileged user/process inside guest could use this issue to leak host memory bytes.
