Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Frediano Ziglio reported a missing check in the script to generate demarshalling code in the SPICE protocol client and server library.
The generated demarshalling code is prone to multiple buffer overflows. An authenticated attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (spice server crash), or possibly, execute arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the spice packages.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.12.8-2.1+deb9u2.
