RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Cause: When the authentication failed asking if the user would like to try to reconnect and the user clicks 'yes; , because the connection was disconnected, all windows are closed/cleaned up. Then when virt-viewer tries to reconnect again it ends up in a place where there is no display set.
Consequence: As there is no display set, virt-viewer crashes trying to reconnect.
Fix: Re-use the existing display/window when trying to re-authenticate.
Result: When the user inserts a wrong password and re-try to connect, the authentication dialog is re-shown without any crash.

gtk2-2.24.22-6.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a guest with vnc display and password set.
# virt-manager
Click "Details-> Display vnc -> Check on option Password -> input password : ccdd -> Click Apply".
# virsh dumpxml rhel6.5 --security-info
...
<graphics type='vnc' port='5901' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0' passwd='ccdd'>
<listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
</graphics>
...
<video>
<model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/>
<alias name='video0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
</video>
...
2. Start guest.
# virsh start rhel6.5
3. Use virt-viewer to connect the guest, a dialogue let you input the password showed, then input a wrong password, such as "abcd".
Then it will show: Authentication failed.
Retry connection again? NO/YES
4. Repeat step3 times with wrong password and click "YES" to retry.
Actual results:
After tring with wrong password two times, virt-viewer crashed.
# virt-viewer rhel6.5
** (virt-viewer:26113): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-sfl9ZxDkb0: Connection refused
(virt-viewer:26113): virt-viewer-CRITICAL **: ensure_window_for_display: assertion 'l != NULL' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Expected results:
virt-viewer should not crash when inputting wrong password several times.
Additional info:
1. I will attach detail debug info.

I can reproduce this with: virt-viewer-0.6.0-10.el7.x86_64
Verify with:
virt-viewer-0.6.0-11.el7.x86_64
Steps：
1. Prepare a vnc guest and set the graphics password "ccdd":
# virsh dumpxml vm1
...
<graphics type='vnc' port='5901' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0' passwd='ccdd'>
<listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
</graphics>
...
<video>
<model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/>
<alias name='video0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
</video>
...
2. # virsh start vm1
3. # virt-viewer vm1
After the password dialog comes out, input a wrong password and click "YES" to input again.
4. Repeat 3 several times(10)
5. input right password
Result:
Step4, no core dump
Step5, virt-viewer can connect the guest.
Also test via ssh, no core dump.
As the result, move to VERIFIED.
