Description Prasad Pandit 2016-11-29 09:22:48 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', if receive buffer size was to be zero.

A privileged user/process inside guest could use this issue to crash the Qemu
process on the host leading to DoS.
