Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-05-24 10:41:28 UTC
From ${URL} :

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the LSI SAS1068 Host Bus Adapter emulation 
support is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while fetching 
new requests in mptsas_fetch_requests().

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to consume excessive host 
resources or crash the Qemu process resulting in DoS.
