Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-12-02 13:46:08 UTC 
From ${URL} :

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the ColdFire Fast Ethernet Controller emulator 
support is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while 
receiving packets in 'mcf_fec_receive'.

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