Hello,A potential stack overflow via infinite loop issue was found in various NIC emulators of QEMU. The said issue occurs in loopback mode of a NIC wherein reentrant DMA checks may get bypassed. A guest user/process may use this flaw to consume cpu cycles or crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in DoS scenario.
