This could trigger buffer overflows in the guest operating system driver for that network card, assuming that the host system does not discard such frames (which it will by default). For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.12.5+dfsg-5+squeeze10. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.2+dfsg-4. We recommend that you upgrade your qemu-kvm packages.
