Subject: CVE-2017-9375 Qemu: usb: xhci infinite recursive call via

   Hello,

Quick emulator(Qemu) built with the USB xHCI controller emulator support is 
vulnerable to an infinite recursive call loop issue. It could occur while 
processing control transfer descriptors' sequence in xhci_kick_epctx.

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