Red Hat Security Advisory: spice-client-win security update
Two stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities were identified in libsoup used by the spice-client-win MSI installers for Windows clients. The first (CVE-2026-0719) involves a signed to unsigned conversion error in NTLM authentication, and the second (CVE-2026-1761) involves multipart HTTP response parsing. These vulnerabilities affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. 4 variants with spice-client-win components. Red Hat has issued security updates addressing these issues.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This advisory covers two security vulnerabilities in libsoup, a library used by spice-client-win MSI installers for Windows clients distributed with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 Extended Update Support and Advanced Update Support. CVE-2026-0719 is a stack-based buffer overflow caused by a signed to unsigned conversion error in libsoup's NTLM authentication code. CVE-2026-1761 is a stack-based buffer overflow in libsoup's multipart HTTP response parsing. Both vulnerabilities could lead to memory corruption. Red Hat has released updated spice-client-win packages that fix these issues.
