Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-1284-01

Posted Sep 17, 2012

Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-1284-01 - The spice-gtk packages provide a GIMP Toolkit widget for SPICE clients. Both Virtual Machine Manager and Virtual Machine Viewer can make use of this widget to access virtual machines using the SPICE protocol. 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.
