Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

The Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments (SPICE) is
a remote display system built for virtual environments which allows
the user to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the
machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and
from a wide variety of machine architectures.

Security Fix(es) :

* A vulnerability was discovered in spice server's protocol handling.
An authenticated attacker could send specially crafted messages to the
spice server, causing out-of-bounds memory accesses, leading to parts
of server memory being leaked or a crash. (CVE-2017-7506)

This issue was discovered by Frediano Ziglio (Red Hat).");
