Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS : Spice vulnerability (USN-4572-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 141206

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4572-1 advisory.

 Frediano Ziglio discovered that Spice incorrectly handled QUIC image decoding. A remote attacker could use this 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 and / or libspice-server1 packages.
