[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 3.1.0-rc5 is now available

[Michael Roth]

Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
sixth release candidate for the QEMU 3.1 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

A note from the maintainer:

  This release candidate contains just one extra fix over rc4,
  which fixes a buffer overflow bug in the smbus i2c device model.
  Note that this bug is exploitable by a guest to escape from the
  virtual machine. However the commit which introduced the bug was
  only made after the 3.0 release, and so it is not present in any
  released QEMU versions (only in development snapshots and the
  previous release candidates).
  
  We plan to make the final 3.1.0 release on schedule on
  Tuesday 11th.

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 3.1 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:

candidates, are available at:
