+Subject: [PATCH] qemu: ensure TLS clients always verify the server certificate
+
+The default_tls_x509_verify (and related) parameters in qemu.conf
+control whether the QEMU TLS servers request & verify certificates
+from clients. This works as a simple access control system for
+servers by requiring the CA to issue certs to permitted clients.
+This use of client certificates is disabled by default, since it
+requires extra work to issue client certificates.
+
+Unfortunately the code was using this configuration parameter when
+setting up both TLS clients and servers in QEMU. The result was that
+TLS clients for character devices and disk devices had verification
+turned off, meaning they would ignore errors while validating the
+server certificate.
+
+This allows for trivial MITM attacks between client and server,
+as any certificate returned by the attacker will be accepted by
+the client.
+
+This is assigned CVE-2017-1000256  / LSN-2017-0002
