Use CVE-2016-1714.
This is not yet available at
http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=history;f=hw/nvram/fw_cfg.c;hb=stable-2.3
but that may be an expected place for a later update.
Note that http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=blob;f=hw/nvram/fw_cfg.c
has:
static void fw_cfg_write(FWCfgState *s, uint8_t value)
{
/* nothing, write support removed in QEMU v2.4+ */
}
and has no fw_cfg_read function.
