This security advisory describes one high risk vulnerability.


1) Buffer overflow


Risk: High


CVSSv3: 7.7 [CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C] [PCI]


CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14355


CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer


Exploit availability: No


Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.


The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the QUIC image decoding process of the SPICE remote display system. A remote user can pass specially crafted data to the server or client application, trigger memory corruption in the QUIC image compression algorithm and crash the application or execute arbitrary code on the system.


Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
