NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream virt:rhel/qemu-kvm-docs package and not the virt:rhel/qemu-kvm-docs package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

An infinite loop flaw was found in the USB xHCI controller emulation of QEMU while computing the length of the Transfer Request Block (TRB) Ring. This flaw allows a privileged guest user to hang the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service.
