  - CVE-2017-7228: x86: Broken check in memory_exchange() permits PV guest breakout

  In addition, an issue has been identified that, in certain deployments, allows a guest VM to perform a denial of
  service attack against the host by repeatedly rebooting many times.

  - No CVE: Memory leak when destroying guest without PT devices

  A further issue has been identified that, in certain deployments, might allow unprivileged code within a guest to
  escalate its privilege level within that same guest.  This issue has the identifier:

  - CVE-2016-10013: x86: Mishandling of SYSCALL singlestep during emulation");
