  - In QEMU through 5.0.0, an assertion failure can occur in the network packet processing. This issue affects
    the e1000e and vmxnet3 network devices. A malicious guest user/process could use this flaw to abort the
    QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service condition in net_tx_pkt_add_raw_fragment in
    hw/net/net_tx_pkt.c. (CVE-2020-16092)
