I've been informed that this problem will be triggered during any (fast forward) cloud upgrades. In these situations *all* VMs go through a live migration so running into this security flaw would be (almost?) unavoidable.

While some deployments might never go through a major upgrade during their lifetime, many do. This additional fact doesn't directly raise risk/impact of the flaw itself but indicates that it is unavoidable in some environments. As a result there may be greater demand for backporting this fix.
