From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1384909:

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the 16550A UART emulation support is vulnerable
to a divide by zero issue. It could occur while updating serial device
parameters in 'serial_update_parameters'.

A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process instance
on the host, resulting in DoS.
