Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-10-25 07:48:11 UTC
From ${URL} :

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Intel HDA controller emulation support
is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while processing the
DMA buffer stream while doing data transfer in 'intel_hda_xfer'.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to consume excessive CPU
cycles on the host, resulting in DoS.
