An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.10.x allowing x86 HVM guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS infinite loop) in situations where a QEMU device model attempts to make invalid transitions between states of a request.
The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
