3. Description:

The Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments (SPICE) is a
remote display system built for virtual environments which allows the user
to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the machine where it
is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of
machine architectures.

Security Fix(es):

* A memory allocation flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was
found in spice's smartcard interaction, which runs under the QEMU-KVM
context on the host. A user connecting to a guest VM using spice could
potentially use this flaw to crash the QEMU-KVM process or execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the host's QEMU-KVM process.
(CVE-2016-0749)

* A memory access flaw was found in the way spice handled certain guests
using crafted primary surface parameters. A user in a guest could use this
flaw to read from and write to arbitrary memory locations on the host.
(CVE-2016-2150)

The CVE-2016-0749 issue was discovered by Jing Zhao (Red Hat) and the
CVE-2016-2150 issue was discovered by Frediano Ziglio (Red Hat).

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

Applications acting as a SPICE server must be restarted for this update to
take effect. Note that QEMU-KVM guests providing SPICE console access must
be restarted for this update to take effect.

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
