An attacker able\nto manipulate savevm data could use this issue to possibly execute\narbitrary code on the host. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS,\nUbuntu 14.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 14.10. (CVE-2014-7840)\n\nPaolo Bonzini discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled memory in the Cirrus\nVGA device. A malicious guest could possibly use this issue to write into\nmemory of the host, leading to privilege escalation. (CVE-2014-8106)\n",
