Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated spice-client package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The spice-client package provides the Simple Protocol for Independent Computing
Environments (SPICE) client application. SPICE is a remote display protocol
designed for virtual environments. SPICE users can access a virtualized desktop
or server from the local system or any system with network access to the server.
SPICE is used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux for viewing virtualized guests running
on the KVM hypervisor or on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisors.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The SPICE client did not correctly handle an exception which was raised when
trying to connect to a guest operating system with no running SPICE agent.
Consequently, the SPICE client application terminated unexpectedly after the
30-second timeout. With this update, the SPICE client correctly handles this
situation and successfully connects to the guest system without unnecessary
waiting. (BZ#790894)
All users of spice-client are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
