Description
Two security vulnerabilities in spice-vdagent have been addressed. CVE-2026-57965 is an integer overflow in the udscs_write() function that can cause the spice-vdagent daemon to crash via a heap buffer overflow triggered by a malicious SPICE host message. CVE-2026-57966 involves improper sanitization that allows a compromised SPICE host to write arbitrary files anywhere on the guest OS. Both vulnerabilities require a compromised SPICE host to exploit.
