DESCRIPTION:
Red Hat has issued an update for spice-xpi. This fixes a security
issue and a vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious, local
users to perform certain actions with escalated privileges and
malicious people to potentially compromise a user's system.

1) An uninitialised pointer error in the SPICE Firefox plugin can be
exploited by e.g. tricking a user into visiting a malicious website.

2) The SPICE Firefox plugin creates log files with a predictable
filename, which can be exploited to overwrite arbitrary files via
directory traversal attacks.

SOLUTION:
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
