Off-by-one error in the cmd_smart function in the smart self test in
hw/ide/core.c in QEMU allows local users to have

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in

For the testing distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.0.0+dfsg-1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.0.0+dfsg-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.
