NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu-kvm package and not the qemu-kvm package as distributed by Ubuntu.

QEMU (aka Quick Emulator), when built with the e1000e NIC emulation support, allows local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via vectors related to setting the initial receive / transmit descriptor head (TDH/RDH) outside the allocated descriptor buffer.
