Any unprivileged local guest user with access to the UNIX domain socket path /run/spice-vdagentd/spice-vdagent-sock could use this flaw to perform a memory denial of service for spice-vdagentd or even other processes in the VM system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. This flaw affects spice-vdagent versions 0.20 and previous versions.
