   Hello,

A stack overflow via infinite recursion issue was found in the eepro100 i8255x 
device emulator of QEMU. It could occur while processing controller commands 
due to DMA re-entrancy issue. A guest user/process may use this flaw to 
consume cpu cycles or crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in DoS 
scenario.
