Um, silly question. Does this affect people using QEMU to run ReactOS, FreeDOS, and their proprietary counterparts to play old games and use old programs that don't work as well in DOSBox?

If you run malicious binaries attacking this, sure.

If you're just playing old games, you are probably fine. (Likely wouldn't need to worry about other security exploits either for that case.)

Neither ReactOS nor FreeDOS nor their proprietary counterparts have drivers for virtio-9p, so most likely you are not using the device and are not vulnerable.

9p as in Plan 9 from Bell Labs? I only use that from LiveCD - and mostly as a goof and a basic test for a machine.
