An integer overflow vulnerability was found in spice-vdagent. In src/udscs.c, the udscs_write() function computes a buffer size as buf_size = sizeof(header) + size, where buf_size is a guint (unsigned 32-bit). When size is >= 0xFFFFFFF1 (since sizeof(header) is 16), this addition wraps to zero or a very small value. g_malloc(0) returns a valid tiny allocation (typically 1 byte), and the subsequent memcpy(buf + 16, data, size) writes approximately 4GB past the end of the buffer, causing a heap buffer overflow. This has been confirmed with AddressSanitizer (heap-buffer-overflow). On a normal (non-ASAN) build the daemon crashes with SIGBUS.

The trigger path is through VDAgentMessage.size in clipboard or file transfer messages from the SPICE host. The size validation at vdagentd.c:572 only checks >= min_size with no upper bound.

Note: exploitation requires a malicious or compromised SPICE host to send a crafted message with a large size field. In standard SPICE deployments, the host is trusted.
