And let me thank Mr1 once again!
He is cool!
I would not be able to become a QEMU contributor without his help :-)

[Jul 26] Mr2: oh, this is fun. Not gonna take your fix. Whole code should be overwritten. I can worry about a proper fix for QEMU 4.2+.
[Jul 27] me: hum, okay... Feel free to add me to CC, I can review the patches and test them with fuzzing!

[Nov 6] me: I'm pointing politely to this issue again.
It crashes qemu during syzkaller fuzzing.
Why don't you apply my commit and then do the refactoring later when you want?
[Nov 7] somebody in ML: do you want to rework the code yourself?

[Nov 7] me: huh, yes, I will take this task and return with a patch.
/* Grr. Challenge accepted! A week of development. */
[Nov 14] me: new patch fixing IDE
[Nov 21] Mr1: we have unit tests. First you improve them to cover all cases. Do according the IDE specification.

Meanwhile my friends at 36C3 recommended to request a CVE to speed up the review process :-)
Nice idea! Red Had likes CVEs!
So MITRE allocated CVE-2019-20175 for this issue (with a DISPUTED tag).

And now can you guess who created this bug back in 2015?
Yes, it was Mr2. LOL!
Maybe that is why he was delaying the fix that killed it.
That was weird story.
Hope you liked it.
Happy end!
