Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The remote-viewer in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager (RHEV-M) before 3.3, when using a native SPICE client invocation method, initially makes insecure connections to the SPICE server, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof the SPICE server.

Insufficient details were provided to determine where the fault is -- the Red Hat update is to their rhevm package -- so I've marked spice as the involved package until this can be researched further.
