  Hello,

Qemu emulator built with the Task Priority Register(TPR) optimizations for 32-bit Windows guests, is vulnerable to a information leakage issue. It could occur while accessing Task Priority Register(TPR).

A privileged user/process inside guest could use this issue to leak host memory bytes.
