high Nessus Plugin ID 101834

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3355-1 advisory.

 Frediano Ziglio discovered that Spice incorrectly handled certain invalid monitor configurations. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Spice to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected libspice-server-dev, libspice-server1 and / or spice-client packages.
