Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-09-07 09:36:49 UTC
From ${URL} :

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VMWARE PVSCSI paravirtual SCSI bus 
emulation support is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur 
while processing an IO request descriptor, building SG list.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process 
resulting in DoS.
