CVE-2018-20216 [HIGH] CVE-2018-20216 QEMU: pvrdma: infinite loop in pvrdma_qp_send/recv
CVE-2018-20216 QEMU: pvrdma: infinite loop in pvrdma_qp_send/recv
An infinite loop issue was found in QEMU's implementation of
VMWare's paravirtual RDMA device. It could occur while transferring
QP ring objects' data in pvrdma_qp_send/recv functions.
A guest user/process could use this flaw to cause infinite loop resulting in DoS.
