Hello,

Today, a security flaw in Qemu was released at secunia [0] which was fixed in 
qemu svn repository.

Xen uses part of a qemu code including "vl.c" in which the security flaw 
appeared. I suspect that Xen is effected by this vulnerability too but I 
couldn't find same lines in vl.c and I'm not sure about it.

Could someone look at this issue and shed a light? If Xen is effected, I would 
really appreciate a patch.

My best regards,
Eren
