Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for qemu.

CVE-2016-1922[0]:
i386: null pointer dereference in vapic_write()

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:

[2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1283934

Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed. I suspect
that wheezy is not affected and the issue is possibly introduced after
4917cf44326a1bda2fd7f27303aff7a25ad86518 (v1.6.0-rc0). Can you
double-check and/or confirm the right introducing version so that we
can update the secuirty-tracker info?

Regards,
Salvatore
