Demote CVE-2018-20124/qemu to unimportant
The state for PVRDMA and RDMA is quite confusing, but for this particular issue hw/rdma/rdma_backend.c is build when pvrdma support is enabled. In 1:3.1+dfsg-4 --enable-rdma was left, while disabling --enable-pvrdma, making the issue only affecting the source but not anymore the build packages. --enable-rdma is about RDMA migration and outside the quest, it is what qemu does when communicate with another qemu during migration. (The option might have been actually been called more something like --enable-rdma-migration instead). --enable-pvrdma: pvrdma is a specialized guest-visible device (the same interface as vmware implements) to give rdma capabilities to the guest. Both are are not related to each other, but pvrdma can't function without rdma libs on the host. Thanks: Michael Tokarev
