spice versions though 0.13 are vulnerable to out-of-bounds memory access when processing specially crafted messages from authenticated attacker to the spice server resulting into crash and/or server memory leak.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has spice-server packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - 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)

  - A vulnerability was discovered in SPICE where the     generated code used for demarshalling messages lacked     sufficient bounds checks. A malicious client or server,     after authentication, could send specially crafted     messages to its peer which would result in a crash or,     potentially, other impacts. (CVE-2018-10873)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

An update for spice-server is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

The Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments (SPICE) is a remote display protocol for virtual environments. SPICE users can access a virtualized desktop or server from the local system or any system with network access to the server. SPICE is used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux for viewing virtualized guests running on the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor or on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisors.
