Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for qemu.

CVE-2016-9907[0]:
usb: redirector: memory leakage when destroying redirector

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

For further information see:

Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed. I think
jessie is affected as well, while the code is slight different, if I'm
now wrong, then the vm change state handler is as well freed in
usbredir_cleanup_device_queues. But please double check.

Regards,
Salvatore
