  It was discovered that the spice-gtk setuid helper application,
  spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper, did not clear the environment variables
  read by the libraries it uses. A local attacker could possibly use this
  flaw to escalate their privileges by setting specific environment variables
  before running the helper application. (CVE-2012-4425)

  Red Hat would like to thank Sebastian Krahmer of the SUSE Security Team for
  reporting this issue.

  All users of spice-gtk are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
