Moderate: qspice-client security update. Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:36:30 -0500 Reply-To: Troy Dawson Sender: Security Errata for Scientific Linux From: Troy Dawson Subject: Security ERRATA Moderate: qspice-client on SL5.x i386/x86_64 Comments: To: "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it." Synopsis: Moderate: qspice-client security update Issue date: 2010-08-25 CVE Names: CVE-2010-2792 The qspice-client package provides the client side of the SPICE protocol. A race condition was found in the way the SPICE Mozilla Firefox plug-in and the SPICE client communicated. A local attacker could use this flaw to trick the plug-in and the SPICE client into communicating over an attacker-controlled socket, possibly gaining access to authentication details, or resulting in a man-in-the-middle attack on the SPICE connection. (CVE-2010-2792) NOTE: Because qspice-client was originally only x86_64, there are several dependencies for i386 going out with this errata. SL 5.x SRPMS: qspice-client-0.3.0-4.el5_5.src.rpm i386: qspice-client-0.3.0-4.el5_5.i386.rpm Dependancies: celt051-0.5.1.3-0.el5.i386.rpm celt051-devel-0.5.1.3-0.el5.i386.rpm log4cpp-1.0-9.el5.i386.rpm log4cpp-devel-1.0-9.el5.i386.rpm log4cpp-docs-1.0-9.el5.i386.rpm qcairo-1.8.7.1-3.el5.i386.rpm qcairo-devel-1.8.7.1-3.el5.i386.rpm qffmpeg-devel-0.4.9-0.15.20080908.el5.i386.rpm qffmpeg-devel-0.4.9-0.16.20080908.el5_5.i386.rpm qffmpeg-libs-0.4.9-0.15.20080908.el5.i386.rpm qffmpeg-libs-0.4.9-0.16.20080908.el5_5.i386.rpm qpixman-0.13.3-4.el5.i386.rpm qpixman-devel-0.13.3-4.el5.i386.rpm x86_64: qspice-client-0.3.0-4.el5_5.x86_64.rpm -Connie Sieh -Troy Dawson .
