Scientific Linux Security Update : qspice-client on SL5.x i386/x86_64

low Nessus Plugin ID 60844

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

The qspice-client package provides the client side of the SPICE protocol.

A race condition was found in the way the SPICE Mozilla Firefox plug-in and the SPICE client communicated. A local attacker could use this flaw to trick the plug-in and the SPICE client into communicating over an attacker-controlled socket, possibly gaining access to authentication details, or resulting in a man-in-the-middle attack on the SPICE connection. (CVE-2010-2792)

NOTE: Because qspice-client was originally only x86_64, there are several dependencies for i386 going out with this errata.

Solution

Update the affected qspice-client package.
