[Spice-devel] [CVE-2014-3615 PULL 3/3] spice: make sure we don't overflow ssd->buf

Related spice-only bug.  We have a fixed 16 MB buffer here, being
presented to the spice-server as qxl video memory in case spice is
used with a non-qxl card.  It's also used with qxl in vga mode.

When using display resolutions requiring more than 16 MB of memory we
are going to overflow that buffer.  In theory the guest can write,
indirectly via spice-server.  The spice-server clears the memory after
setting a new video mode though, triggering a segfault in the overflow
case, so qemu crashes before the guest has a chance to do something
evil.

Fix that by switching to dynamic allocation for the buffer.
