Security Fix(es) :
* A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's vhost
functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the
buffer descriptors during migration. A privileged guest user able to
pass descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is
underway, could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the
host. (CVE-2019-14835)");
