Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-09-20 14:32:04 UTC 
From ${URL} :

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the USB xHCI controller emulation support is 
vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while doing a USB device 
unplug operation; Doing so repeatedly would result in leaking host memory, 
affecting other services on the host.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to cause a DoS on the host 
and/or potentially crash the Qemu process instance on the host.
