"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-4030 advisory.

    A flaw was found in spice-server. Multiple migration data handlers use client-supplied offsets from
    SPICE_MSGC_MIGRATE_DATA messages without bounds validation, allowing a malicious authenticated SPICE
    client during VM live migration to read arbitrary heap memory or trigger heap corruption via out-of-bounds
    read and write operations on the message buffer. (CVE-2026-105958)

    A flaw was found in spice-server. The GLZ encoder dictionary restore path truncates a size_t allocation
    size to int when calling the malloc callback, allowing a malicious authenticated SPICE client during VM
    live migration to trigger a massive heap buffer overflow by sending a crafted max_encoders value in
    migration data. (CVE-2026-105959)

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
