Hi David,

There are two high-severity security flaws in spice that are apparently
fixed in spice-0.12.8:  CVE-2016-0749 and CVE-2016-2150

While investigating, I noticed that we're using a "development release"
of spice (0.13.x) instead of a "stable release" (0.12.x):

  http://www.spice-space.org/download.html#stable-release

We should probably be using the stable release.  What do you think?

Anyway, would you be willing to handle this security update, by
switching Guix to a version of spice that's not vulnerable?
The summary line could end with "[fixes CVE-2016-{0749,2150}]."

Thanks for your contributions.

        Mark
