Subject: [PATCH] hw/usb/hcd-ohci: Make sure that ohci_service_ed_list() cannot loop forever
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 18:04:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260713160458.343323-1-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>
The inner while loop in ohci_service_ed_list() could theoretically
loop forever if a malicious guest prepares a set of bad descriptors.
Add a check to the loop to avoid this situation.
