A security bug has been disclosed in bochs:

| Heap-based buffer overflow in the bx_ne2k_c::rx_frame function in
| iodev/ne2k.cc in the emulated NE2000 device in Bochs 2.3 allows local
| users of the guest operating system to write to arbitrary memory
| locations and gain privileges on the host operating system via vectors
| that cause TXCNT register values to exceed the device memory size, aka
| "RX Frame heap overflow."

Please mention the name CVE-2007-2893 in the changelog when fixing
this bug.

There is another issue, CVE-2007-2894, which seems to be rather
harmless to me.
