The SPICE Firefox plug-in (spice-xpi) 2.4, 2.3, 2.2, and possibly other versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to (1) plugin/nsScriptablePeer.cpp and (2) plugin/plugin.cpp, which trigger multiple uses of an uninitialized pointer.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2011-1179 affects the legacy SPICE Firefox plug-in, spice-xpi. A remote attacker could crash the plug-in and may be able to run code because of uninitialized pointer use. Business risk is mainly for environments still using old browser plug-ins for SPICE console access. Exposure is likely limited to endpoints or management workstations with the SPICE Firefox plug-in installed. The source bundle does not provide normalized vendor, product CPEs, CVSS, or complete affected-version boundaries. Prioritize only if legacy SPICE Firefox plug-in use remains in the environment. For most modern fleets, exposure is likely low because browser plug-in workflows are obsolete, but affected administrative workstations could represent sensitive access points. Mitigation focus: Identify and remove obsolete spice-xpi installations where no longer required.; Apply applicable Red Hat RHSA-2011:0426 or RHSA-2011:0427 updates.; Disable the SPICE Firefox plug-in if immediate updating is not possible..
