CVE-2017-8284

DISPUTED The disas_insn function in target/i386/translate.c in QEMU
before 2.9.0, when TCG mode without hardware acceleration is used, does not
limit the instruction size, which allows local users to gain privileges by
creating a modified basic block that injects code into a setuid program, as
demonstrated by procmail. NOTE: the vendor has stated “this bug does not
violate any security guarantees QEMU makes.”
