QEMU (aka Quick Emulator), when built with USB xHCI controller emulator support, allows local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (infinite recursive call) via vectors involving control transfer descriptors sequencing.

Weakness

The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
