I assume qubes does not use the PCNET emulated driver model, so this is not an issue.  However, I bring to the attention of more knowledgeable folks here just in case.  Thanks for your hard work!

As far as I understand Qubes and XEN, even if PCNET was used:
1. this would affect only HVMs
2. device emulation runs in stubdomains, so the attacker can own only the stubdomain of the VM, so he gets the same level of privileges.

Unless I miss something, this does not affect Qubes.
