remote display protocol used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux for viewing
virtualized guests running on the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM)
hypervisor, or on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor.
The spice-xpi package provides a plug-in that allows the SPICE client to
run from within Mozilla Firefox.
An uninitialized pointer use flaw was found in the SPICE Firefox plug-in.
If a user were tricked into visiting a malicious web page with Firefox
while the SPICE plug-in was enabled, it could cause Firefox to crash or,
possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
Firefox. (CVE-2011-1179)
Users of spice-xpi should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a
backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the update,
Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.");
