yes, it seems the slirp networking is only used in qemu user
networking[0], so our regular bridged mode shouldn't be affected.

also we pass the `-nodefaults` option which avoids using the default
networking (slirp). so i think we should be relatively safe.
nevertheless it doesn't hurt to apply it.

for now as far as i'm aware there's no public PoC for this.

also i noticed they disabled the vulnerable `tcp_emu` in libslirp 4.1.0 [1]
