Hi everyone! I was reading my news feeds and I came across this today.

It's a major security vulnerability in the virtualization software in QEMU which affects Xen and its derivatives, as well as many KVM appliances. Any MasterNode running a VPS should be considered compromised and their logs exposed with this flaw until their host patches it. MasterNode operators will have to completely wipe out their VPS and reinstall from scratch once their host is patched, unless their compromised host had additional unpatched software that allowed attackers to install a rootkit on the host system.
It would be great in situations like this if there was a way for us to only use MasterNodes we trust, especially as this affects maybe 90% to 95% of MasterNodes.
