  Hello,

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the USB xHCI controller emulation support is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while processing USB command ring in 'xhci_ring_fetch'.

A privileged user/process inside guest could use this issue to crash the Qemu process on the host leading to DoS.
