Known issues

Please list all patch series or bugs which need to be fixed for the release here. That way I can be sure I don't miss any when I'm rolling release candidates.

Fixed in rc0

Fixed in rc1

Will be fixed in rc4

Not yet fixed in any rc

  • "0/3 usb-mtp: fix ObjectInfo request handling" (potential guest-triggered security issue, read off end of buffer, only present if you're using usb-mtp and have explicitly enabled write support) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-04/msg02524.html -- we might want to just apply patch 2 which is the security fix and looks safe to me

Issues that will not be fixed
