Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2015-12-14 15:20:59 UTC
From ${URL} :

Qemu emulator built with the USB EHCI emulation support is vulnerable to an
infinite loop issue. It occurs during communication between host controller
interface(EHCI) and a respective device driver. These two communicate via a
isochronous transfer descriptor list(iTD) and an infinite loop unfolds if
there is a closed loop in this list.

A privileges user inside guest could use this flaw to consume excessive CPU
cycles & resources on the host.
