CVE request Qemu: malicious PRDT flow from guest to host

  Hello,

Due to inconsistent error checking, Qemu emulator allows malicious PRDT data to flow from a guest to the host's IDE or AHCI controllers. This could result in infinite loop or memory leakage on the host leading to unbounded resource consumption.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the system,
resulting in DoS.

Upstream fix:
