Summary
spice-vdagent vulnerabilities
Details

It was discovered that SPICE vdagent had an integer overflow in the buffer size calculation used when writing to the daemon socket. A malicious or compromised SPICE host could possibly use this issue to cause SPICE vdagent to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-57965)

It was discovered that SPICE vdagent did not properly sanitize filenames provided by the SPICE host during file transfers. A malicious or compromised SPICE host could possibly use this issue to write arbitrary files to any location on the guest operating system with the privileges of the spice-vdagent process. (CVE-2026-57966)
