Some bits of contemporary history, off Twitter:
<nelhage> All I have to say about VENOM is that I was exploiting obsolete hardware in qemu years before it was cool. https://blog.nelhage.com/2011/08/breaking-out-of-kvm/
<solardiz> @nelhage I think @taviso was there first, with emulated Cirrus Logic VGA (CVE-2007-1320) and NE2000 vulns in QEMU. http://taviso.decsystem.org/virtsec.pdf
