>+	  <p>This Security Alert addresses security issue CVE-2015-3456
>+	    ("VENOM"), a buffer overflow vulnerability in QEMU's virtual Floppy
>+	    Disk Controller (FDC). The vulnerable FDC code is included in
>+	    various virtualization platforms and is used in some Oracle products.
>+	    The vulnerability may be exploitable by an attacker who has access
>+	    to an account on the guest operating system with privilege to access
>+	    the FDC. The attacker may be able to send malicious code to the FDC
>+	    that is executed in the context of the hypervisor process on the host
>+	    operating system. This vulnerability is not remotely exploitable
>+	    without authentication, i.e., may not be exploited over a network
>+	    without the need for a username and password.</p>
