An infinite loop flaw was found in the e1000e device emulator in QEMU. This issue could occur while receiving packets via the e1000e_write_packet_to_guest() routine, if the receive(RX) descriptor has a NULL buffer address. This flaw allows a privileged guest user to cause a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
