Subject: KVM possible security issues fixed

Hello,
the following was listed in the changelog of kvm
- slirp: fix use-after-free
- usb-linux.c: fix buffer overflow
- fix potential stack corruption saving MSRs (Eduardo Habkost)

Looks like these are security issues. Does someone know more about?
Any details about exploitability etc.

Thanks
Thomas
