From http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/10/03/1:

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the i.MX Fast Ethernet Controller emulator 
support is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while 
processing packets on the transmit queue in 'imx_fec_do_tx'.

A privileged user/process inside guest could use this issue to crash the Qemu 
process on the host leading to DoS.
