Subject: CVE-2017-2630 Qemu: nbd: oob stack write in client routine
 drop_sync

   Hello,

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Network Block Device(NBD) client support

processing server's response to a 'NBD_OPT_LIST' request.

A malicious NBD server could use this issue to crash remote NBD client 
resulting in DoS or potentially execute arbitrary code on client host with 
privileges of the Qemu process.
