Peter Korsgaard 087e70498a spice: add post-0.12.8 upstream security fixes
Fixes the following security issues:

CVE-2016-9577

    Frediano Ziglio of Red Hat discovered a buffer overflow
    vulnerability in the main_channel_alloc_msg_rcv_buf function. An
    authenticated attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a
    denial of service (spice server crash), or possibly, execute
    arbitrary code.

CVE-2016-9578

    Frediano Ziglio of Red Hat discovered that spice does not properly
    validate incoming messages. An attacker able to connect to the
    spice server could send crafted messages which would cause the
    process to crash.

Subject: [PATCH] Prevent possible DoS attempts during protocol handshake
The limit for link message is specified using a 32 bit unsigned integer.
This could cause possible DoS due to excessive memory allocations and
some possible crashes.
For instance a value >= 2^31 causes a spice_assert to be triggered in
async_read_handler (reds-stream.c) due to an integer overflow at this
line:
int n = async->end - async->now;
This could be easily triggered with a program like
#!/usr/bin/env python
import socket
import time
from struct import pack
server = '127.0.0.1'
port = 5900
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((server, port))
data = pack('<4sIII', 'REDQ', 2, 2, 0xaaaaaaaa)
s.send(data)
time.sleep(1)
without requiring any authentication (the same can be done
with TLS).
