    Jason Wang discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the virtio-net device. A remote attacker could use
    this issue to cause guest network consumption, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-7295)

    Qinghao Tang and Ling Liu discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the pcnet driver when used in loopback
    mode. A malicious guest could use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
    code on the host as the user running the QEMU process. In the default installation, when QEMU is used with
    libvirt, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile. (CVE-2015-7504)

    this issue to cause an infinite loop, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2015-8345)
