CVE-2017-5973 Qemu: usb: infinite loop while doing control transfer in xhci_kick_epctx
Quick emulator(Qemu) built with the USB xHCI controller emulator support is
vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while processing control
transfer descriptors' sequence in xhci_kick_epctx.
A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process
resulting in DoS.
