  Hello,

Qemu emulator(Qemu) built with the USB EHCI emulation support is vulnerable to a memory leakage flaw. It could occur while processing isochronous transfer descriptors(iTD), with buffer page select(PG) index that falls beyond buffer page array area.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to leak Qemu memory bytes leading to a DoS on the host.
