Summary
spice vulnerability
Details

Frediano Ziglio discovered that Spice incorrectly handled monitor configs. A malicious guest could use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host as the user running the QEMU process. In the default installation, when QEMU is used with libvirt, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile.
