Description Petr Matousek 2014-02-18 09:30:55 UTC 
Within hw/ide/ahci.c, VARRAY refers to ports which is also loaded.  So
we use the old version of ports to read the array but then allow any
value for ports.

An user able to alter the savevm data (either on the disk or over the wire
during migration) could use this flaw to to corrupt QEMU process memory on
the (destination) host, which could potentially result in arbitrary code
execution on the host with the privileges of the QEMU process.
