qemu regression
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 17.04
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

USN-3414-1 introduced a regression in QEMU.

Software Description:
- qemu: Machine emulator and virtualizer

Details:

USN-3414-1 fixed vulnerabilities in QEMU. The patch backport for
CVE-2017-9375 was incomplete and caused a regression in the USB xHCI
controller emulation support. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
