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.

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.
