RHBA-2014:1560 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated spice-xpi packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The spice-xpi packages provide the Simple Protocol for Independent Computing
Environments (SPICE) extension for Mozilla that allows the SPICE client to be
used from a web browser.

This update fix the following update:

• Due to a bug in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager web admin

portal, it was possible to open a second SPICE console, which caused the SPICE
plug-in to terminate unexpectedly. With this update, the underlying source code
has been modified to address this bug and the console no longer crashes in the
described scenario. (BZ#1073461)

Users of spice-xpi are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug. After installing the update, the Mozilla Firefox browser must be
restarted for the changes to take effect.
