Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2011:1531 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: qemu-kvm security, bug fix, and enhancement update 2011-12-06 01:23:30 UTC

Description Michal Haško 2011-06-30 14:23:08 UTC
when running:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -spice
qemu-kvm exits gracefully with message:
qemu-kvm: -spice: requires an argument

but when running:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -spice port=
qemu-kvm proceeds to run, and with VNC:
VNC server running on `::1:5900'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -qa qemu-kvm spice-server
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.165.el6.x86_64
spice-server-0.8.1-2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -spice port=
  
Actual results:
qemu-kvm runs vnc

Expected results:
qemu-kvm should exit or run spice on the default port

Comment 1 Dor Laor 2011-07-07 13:31:55 UTC
Please provide the full command line, better use one from libvirt execution of qemu

Comment 2 Michal Haško 2011-07-11 11:46:34 UTC
The bug happens when qemu-kvm is executed as in the reproducer:

$ /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -spice port=

I haven't noticed this bug in libvirt.

Comment 8 Sibiao Luo 2011-08-16 09:59:31 UTC
I verify with the latest spice-server and qemu-kvm,but this issue doesn't reproduce.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -qa qemu-kvm spice-server
spice-server-0.8.2-3.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.183.el6.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1.when running:
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -spice

The qemu-kvm exits gracefully with a message:
qemu-kvm: -spice: requires an argument

The qemu-kvm has exited correctly with friendly tips.

2.and when running:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -spice port=

The qemu-kvm also exits gracefully with a message:
neither port nor tls-port specified for spice.

The qemu-kvm has exited correctly with friendly tips.
