Thanks for the additional details; I do not think this would be a
security problem but rather just regular bugs -- the configuration file
is similar to typing command line arguments at the shell, since they can
specify to write to any file the user has access to, or pass-through PCI
devices from the host to guests. It would not be appropriate to use a
supplied configuration file without inspecting it first.

I've filed a report with upstream bochs bug tracker:

Thanks
