* CVE-2021-20255 bug: infinite recursion is pointing at a different fix patch. -> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2021-20255 * And the this patch below has different issue tagged -> https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2023-05/msg08312.html Fixes: CVE-2023-3019 * They look different, former is an infinite recursion issue and the latter is a use-after-free one.
