Description Prasad Pandit 2016-12-02 07:58:31 UTC 
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.
