CVE-2026-105958: Out-of-bounds Write in Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Description
A flaw was found in spice-server. Multiple migration data handlers use client-supplied offsets from SPICE_MSGC_MIGRATE_DATA messages without bounds validation, allowing a malicious authenticated SPICE client during VM live migration to read arbitrary heap memory or trigger heap corruption via out-of-bounds read and write operations on the message buffer.

Technical Analysis
The vulnerability in spice-server arises because multiple migration data handlers process client-supplied offsets from SPICE_MSGC_MIGRATE_DATA messages without proper bounds checking. An authenticated SPICE client can exploit this during virtual machine live migration to read arbitrary heap memory or cause heap corruption through out-of-bounds read and write operations on the message buffer. This flaw affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5, indicating high severity with network attack vector, high privileges required, and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows a malicious authenticated SPICE client to read arbitrary heap memory or corrupt heap memory during VM live migration. This can lead to disclosure of sensitive information, compromise of data integrity, and potential denial of service or further code execution within the affected virtual machine environment.
