Security Fix(es):

* An integer overflow flaw and an out-of-bounds read flaw were found in
the way QEMU's VGA emulator set certain VGA registers while in VBE mode. A
privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process
instance. (CVE-2016-3712)

* An infinite loop flaw was found in the way QEMU's e1000 NIC emulation
implementation processed data using transmit or receive descriptors under
certain conditions. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw
to crash the QEMU instance. (CVE-2016-1981)
