CVE-2018-10873

Se ha descubierto una vulnerabilidad en SPICE en versiones anteriores a la 0.14.1 en la que el código generado utilizado para deserializar mensajes carecía de comprobaciones de límites suficientes. Un cliente o servidor malicioso, después de la autenticación, podría enviar mensajes especialmente manipulados a su peer, lo que resultaría en un cierre inesperado o, potencialmente, otros impactos.

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.

The Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments 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 hypervisor or on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisors. The spice-gtk packages provide a GIMP Toolkit widget for Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments clients. Both Virtual Machine Manager and Virtual Machine Viewer can make use of this widget to access virtual machines using the SPICE protocol. Issues addressed include buffer overflow and denial of service vulnerabilities.
