Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for qemu. As far I understand
the fix consists as well in revertint the original commit for
CVE-2015-8558[1], since it causes problems and then addressed with [2].

CVE-2016-4037[0]:
usb: Infinite loop vulnerability in usb_ehci using siTD process

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

Does not warrant a DSA on it's own, but can be included in a future one.
