  Hello,

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the JAZZ RC4030 chipset emulation support is vulnerable to a divide by zero issue. It could occur while computing its periodic timer's next tick value.

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