when the container has a CDROM drive enabled, allows local guest users
to execute arbitrary code on the host via unspecified ATAPI commands.
(bsc#938344).
– CVE-2015-5278: QEMU was vulnerable to an infinite loop issue that could
occur when receiving packets over the network. (bsc#945989)

occur while executing an IDE command WIN_READ_NATIVE_MAX to determine
the maximum size of a drive. (bsc#945404)
– CVE-2014-7815: The set_pixel_format function in ui/vnc.c in QEMU allowed
