From ${URL} : Qemu emulator built with the e1000 NIC emulation support is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while processing transmit descriptor data when sending a network packet. A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu instance resulting in DoS. Upstream fix: ------------- -> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-09/msg01199.html @maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
added fix sent upstream: http://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=fec667228a95981586716b7d25004c4d706943e2 should be fine to stabilize (in addition to qemu-guest-agent)
