Alpine: multiple spice packages: security update to 0.12.7-r1 (deprecated)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400958

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- Race condition in the worker_update_monitors_config function in SPICE 0.12.4 allows a remote authenticated
guest user to cause a denial of service (heap-based memory corruption and QEMU-KVM crash) or possibly
execute arbitrary code on the host via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2015-3247)

- The smartcard interaction in SPICE allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (QEMU-KVM process
crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to connecting to a guest VM, which triggers
a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2016-0749)

- SPICE allows local guest OS users to read from or write to arbitrary host memory locations via crafted
primary surface parameters, a similar issue to CVE-2015-5261. (CVE-2016-2150)
