CVE-2016-8909 Qemu: audio: intel-hda: infinite loop in processing dma buffer stream
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Intel HDA controller emulation support
is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while processing the
DMA buffer stream while doing data transfer in 'intel_hda_xfer'.
A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to consume excessive CPU
cycles on the host, resulting in DoS.
