Multiple security issues were discovered in QEMU, a fast processor
emulator, which could result in denial of service, the execution of
arbitrary code or information disclosure.

In addition this update backports support to passthrough the new
md-clear CPU flag added in the intel-microcode update shipped in DSA 4447
to x86-based guests.

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