CVE-2010-0297 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-0297):
  Buffer overflow in the usb_host_handle_control function in the USB
  passthrough handling implementation in usb-linux.c in QEMU before
  0.11.1 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS
  crash or hang) or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host OS via
  a crafted USB packet.

app-emulation/qemu-kvm-0.12.3 already has this fix.

Well qemu-kvm just takes qemu releases and patches their KVM support. So if the issue was present before 0.11.1, then qemu-kvm versions 0.11.0 and kvm-88 and older would be affected.

qemu and qemu-kvm got the patches.

app-emulation/qemu-softmmu still has the vulnerable version of usb-linux.c.
Could we bump to a newer version?
