MGASA-2012-0278
Date: 	September 30th, 2012
Affected releases: 	2


Description:
Updated spice-gtk packages fix security vulnerability:

It was discovered that the spice-gtk setuid helper application,
spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper, did not clear the environment
variables read by the libraries it uses. A local attacker could
possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges by setting
specific environment variables before running the helper
application (CVE-2012-4425).


Updated Packages:
spice-gtk-0.9-1.1.mga2
lib(64)spice-client-glib2.0_1-0.9-1.1.mga2
lib(64)spice-client-glib-gir2.0-0.9-1.1.mga2
lib(64)spice-client-gtk3.0_1-0.9-1.1.mga2
lib(64)spice-client-gtk-gir3.0-0.9-1.1.mga2
lib(64)spice-controller0-0.9-1.1.mga2
lib(64)spice-gtk-devel-0.9-1.1.mga2
