Descriptions

The xhci_ring_fetch function in hw/usb/hcd-xhci.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and QEMU process crash) by leveraging failure to limit the number of link Transfer Request Blocks (TRB) to process.

La función xhci_ring_fetch en hw/usb/hcd-xhci.c en QEMU (también conocido como Quick Emulator) permite a administradores locales del SO invitado provocar una denegación de servicio (bucle infinito y caída del proceso QEMU) aprovechando el fallo para limitar el número de enlaces Transfer Request Blocks (TRB) al proceso.
