Doc Text:
An infinite loop flaw was found in the USB OHCI controller emulator of QEMU. This flaw occurs while servicing OHCI isochronous transfer descriptors (TD) in the ohci_service_iso_td routine, as it retires a TD if it has passed its time frame. It does not check if the TD was already processed and holds an error code in TD_CC. This issue may happen if the TD list has a loop. This flaw allows a guest user or process to consume CPU cycles on the host, resulting in a denial of service.

Description Prasad Pandit 2020-09-17 05:32:01 UTC 
An infinite loop issue was found in the USB OHCI controller emulator of QEMU. It could occur while servicing OHCI isochronous transfer descriptors (TD) in ohci_service_iso_td routine, as it retires a TD if it has passed its time frame. While do so it does not check if the TD was already processed ones and holds an error code in TD_CC. It may happen if the TD list has a loop. A guest user/process may use this flaw to consume cpu cycles on the host resulting in DoS scenario.
