Hello,Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the USB EHCI Emulation support is vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while hot-unplugging the device, as it does not release the memory allocated at initialisation.
A guest user/process could use this issue to leak host memory, resulting in DoS for host.
Upstream patch: --------------- -> http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=d710e1e7bd3d5bfc26b631f02ae87901ebe646b0 Reference: ---------- -> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1459132 This issue was reported by Li Qiang of Qihoo 360 Gear Team. Thank you. -- Prasad J Pandit / Red Hat Product Security Team 47AF CE69 3A90 54AA 9045 1053 DD13 3D32 FE5B 041F
