THIS RELEASE HAS AN ISSUE WHICH MIGHT CAUSE HOST OS CRASH WHEN VM IS CONFIGURED
TO USE BRIDGED OR HOST-ONLY NETWORKING. WE WILL SEND AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAILING
LISTS WHEN FIX WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD.
An incomplete allocation variable triggers an R0 memory corruption on
kernel, leading to possible host crashes when high amount of traffic is
generated

[ Regression potential ]
* Low, this is just a variable initialization.
[ Test case ]
* Enable Bridge and NAT network interface on the guest and generate a huge
amount of traffic. The host *should not crash*
