A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the system,
resulting in DoS.

|   1A: one CVE ID for the use of "return s->io_buffer_size != 0" - this
|       made it impossible for other parts of the code to distinguish
|       between the "0 bytes" case and the "0 complete sectors" case,
|       and caused both impacts: "leaked memory for short PRDTs" and
|       "infinite loops and resource usage"

Use CVE-2014-9718.
