Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'spice' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0250 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated spice packages fix security vulnerabilities:

A memory allocation flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in
spice's smartcard interaction, which runs under the QEMU-KVM context on the
host. A user connecting to a guest VM using spice could potentially use this
flaw to crash the QEMU-KVM process or execute arbitrary code with the privileges
of the host's QEMU-KVM process (CVE-2016-0749).

A memory access flaw was found in the way spice handled certain guests using
crafted primary surface parameters. A user in a guest could use this flaw to
read from and write to arbitrary memory locations on the host (CVE-2016-2150).

Affected Software/OS:
'spice' package(s) on Mageia 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
