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.

Description Luiz Capitulino 2010-05-21 13:18:06 UTC 
Description of problem:

QEMU has an internal JSON extension which allows us to write JSON code without the need of additional backslash characters.

However, this extension is available to QMP clients as well, but it shouldn't.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.60.el6

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a QMP connection, eg.

# qemu-kvm [...] -qmp tcp:localhost:4444,server

2. Connect via telnet and issue the following command (note the single quotes):

{ 'execute': 'qmp_capabilities' }


Actual results:

Command works.

Expected results:

An error should be returned, as this is an internal JSON extension.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2010-05-21 13:36:07 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
Comment 2 Luiz Capitulino 2010-06-17 18:47:43 UTC 
The issue here is that, we don't want clients to rely on an extension which is non-standard and could be removed later.

However, as QMP is going to be declared tech-preview, this is quite a minor issue and maybe should be fixed only in rhel6.1.

Moving to tier3.
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-15 14:01:23 UTC 
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **
Comment 5 Luiz Capitulino 2010-11-10 16:45:01 UTC 
Not very important, I don't plan to fix this in 6.1.
Comment 7 Luiz Capitulino 2011-05-27 17:01:17 UTC 
This doesn't have any impact on our stack, moving to RHEL7.0.
Comment 8 Luiz Capitulino 2012-05-16 20:00:32 UTC 
I don't think this will be changed upstream, but in any case this is not an actual bug and it doesn't affect RHEL in any way, will just close as WONTFIX.
