With default slirp port forwarding config qemu listens on TCP ports
2222 and 2323 on all IP addresses available on the build host. Most
use cases with runqemu only need it for localhost and it is not
safe to run qemu images with root login without password enabled
and listening on all available, possibly Internet reachable network
interfaces. Limit qemu port forwarding to localhost 127.0.0.1 IP
address. Now qemu machine SSH and telnet ports are only
reachable from the build host machine, not full Internet.

If qemu machine needs to be reachable from network, then it can
be enabled via local.conf or machine config variable QB_SLIRP_OPT:

QB_SLIRP_OPT = "-netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22"

With the additional knowledge we gathered in the last patches, I believe 
it would be a good thing to say a few words/update the documentation.

See 
https://lore.kernel.org/yocto-docs/fedb4cc0-44d6-d7d8-bc26-c8de5bee06ca@theobroma-systems.com/T/#t 
for a patch I believe might make it to master soon? I think we should 
say what the default value entails (even if this patch isnt' taken) and 
maybe point/refer to the QEMU documentation for the meaning of options 
in QB_SLIRP_OPT. I believe some/all of options listed 
https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/invocation.html are possible?

What do you think?

Cheers,
Quentin

Yes, I agree, and saw that change too. I'll try to document this once
change gets integrated.
