Subject: CVE Request Qemu: net: e1000 infinite loop issue

   Hello,

Qemu emulator built with the e1000 NIC emulation support is vulnerable to an
infinite loop issue. It could occur while processing transmit descriptor data
when sending a network packet.

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