I've been seeing:

"qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped"

when trying to build gobject-introspection for qemux86 recently and
narrowed it down to this change, if I revert this patch the use of
qemu-native by gobject-introspection no longer causes a segmentation
fault.

Are we missing some related patches for this CVE fix? I haven't dug
into the details, but noticed that Fedora's CVE-2016-2857 diffstat[1]
is much larger than ours[2].

Regards,

Joshua
