Hi,

A security issue issue [1] has been found in spice <= 0.12.8, possibly leading to (authenticated) remote code execution.
Three patches [2][3][4] have been committed to the 0.12 branch to fix this issue, so it would be nice if we could backport them until a new version is released.
I see that some patches were previously added on that same branch after 0.12.8, all of them looking like security fixes, so perhaps we should just switch to the current git head of that branch?

Thanks!
