-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

   Hello,

Qemu emulator built with the IDE AHCI Emulation support is vulnerable to a use 
after free(kind of) issue. It could occur after processing AHCI Native Command 
Queuing(NCQ) AIO commands.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process 
instance or might potentially execute arbitrary code with privileges of the 
Qemu process on the host.

Upstream fix:
- -------------

Reference:
- ----------
   -> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1288532

This issue was discovered by Mr Qinghao Tang of Qihoo 360 Marvel Team.

Thank you.
