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 vulnerability was discovered in spice server's protocol handling. An
authenticated attacker could send specially crafted messages to the spice
server, causing out-of-bounds memory accesses, leading to parts of server
memory being leaked or a crash. (CVE-2017-7506)

This issue was discovered by Frediano Ziglio (Red Hat).
