    qemu: avoid denial of service reading from QEMU guest agent (CVE-2018-1064)
    
    We read from the agent until seeing a \r\n pair to indicate a completed
    reply or event. To avoid memory denial-of-service though, we must have a
    size limit on amount of data we buffer. 10 MB is large enough that it
    ought to cope with normal agent replies, and small enough that we're not
    consuming unreasonable mem.
    
    This is identical to the flaw we had reading from the QEMU monitor
    as CVE-2018-5748, so rather embarrassing that we forgot to fix
    the agent code at the same time.
