Subject: Qemu: usb: Infinite loop vulnerability in usb_ehci using siTD
process
Hello,
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
split isochronous transfer descriptor list(siTD) and an infinite loop unfolds
if there is a closed loop in this list.
A privileges used inside guest could use this flaw to consume excessive CPU
cycles & resources on the host.
This issue is similar to CVE-2015-8558, but using siTD instead of iTD.
Upstream patch:
