QEMU (aka Quick Emulator), when built with the e1000e NIC emulation support, allows local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via vectors related to setting the initial receive / transmit descriptor head (TDH/RDH) outside the allocated descriptor buffer.
The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
