A flaw was found in spice-vdagent. A malicious or compromised SPICE host can trigger an integer overflow by sending a specially crafted message. This vulnerability can lead to a heap buffer overflow, causing the spice-vdagent daemon to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the virtual machine. This issue requires the SPICE host to be untrusted or compromised for exploitation.

A path traversal vulnerability was found in spice-vdagent. In src/vdagent/file-xfers.c, the filename received from the SPICE host in file transfer metadata is used directly in gbuildfilename() without any sanitization (file-xfers.c:138-139, 190). The gbuildfilename() function has documented behavior where if the second argument is an absolute path (starts with '/'), the first argument (savedir) is silently discarded. Additionally, '..' components in relative paths are not stripped, enabling directory traversal.

This allows a malicious SPICE host to write arbitrary files at arbitrary paths on the guest filesystem, with the privileges of the spice-vdagent process (typically the logged-in user).

Note: this is distinct from CVE-2017-15108, which was about unescaped savedir passed to system() (command injection, CWE-78). This finding concerns the file name parameter not being sanitized for path traversal (CWE-22) — different input variable, different vulnerability class. Exploitation requires a malicious or compromised SPICE host.

An issue was discovered in spice-server spice-server-0.14.0-6.el76.1.x8664 of Redhat's VDI product. There is a security vulnerablility that can restart KVMvirtual machine without any authorization. It is not yet known if there will be other other effects.

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in usbredir in versions prior to 0.11.0 in the usbredirparserserialize() in usbredirparser/usbredirparser.c. This issue occurs when serializing large amounts of buffered write data in the case of a slow or blocked destination.

A race condition vulnerability was found in the way the spice-vdagentd daemon handled new client connections. This flaw may allow an unprivileged local guest user to become the active agent for spice-vdagentd, possibly resulting in a denial of service or information leakage from the host. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality as well as system availability. This flaw affects spice-vdagent versions 0.20 and prior.

A flaw was found in the spice-vdagentd daemon, where it did not properly handle client connections that can be established via the UNIX domain socket in /run/spice-vdagentd/spice-vdagent-sock. Any unprivileged local guest user could use this flaw to prevent legitimate agents from connecting to the spice-vdagentd daemon, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. This flaw affects spice-vdagent versions 0.20 and prior.

A flaw was found in the SPICE file transfer protocol. File data from the host system can end up in full or in parts in the client connection of an illegitimate local user in the VM system. Active file transfers from other users could also be interrupted, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality as well as system availability. This flaw affects spice-vdagent versions 0.20 and prior.

A flaw was found in the way the spice-vdagentd daemon handled file transfers from the host system to the virtual machine. Any unprivileged local guest user with access to the UNIX domain socket path /run/spice-vdagentd/spice-vdagent-sock could use this flaw to perform a memory denial of service for spice-vdagentd or even other processes in the VM system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. This flaw affects spice-vdagent versions 0.20 and previous versions.

spice-vdagent up to and including 0.17.0 does not properly escape save directory before passing to shell, allowing local attacker with access to the session the agent runs in to inject arbitrary commands to be executed.
