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.

Fixed In Version: spice-gtk-0.20-1.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: spice-gtk connects to the server plain port by default (succeeds only if server provides it). Consequence: spice-gtk can't be told to connect to secure port by default. Fix: Learn to connect only to secure port. Result: spice-gtk can be told to connect to secure port instead of always trying plain port first.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:1577 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE spice-gtk bug fix and enhancement update 2013-11-21 00:40:45 UTC

Description David Jaša 2012-11-22 16:34:07 UTC
Description of problem:
spice-gtk shouldn't ignore secure channels controller message and it should provide equivalent cli option

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spice-gtk-0.14-4.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run qemu-kvm with both tls and plaintext ports listening but no default channel set
2a. connect from test page with some channel set to secure in the page
2b. try to specify the secure channel on the command line
  
Actual results:
a: spice-gtk-based client happily connects on plaintext port
b: there's no way to set the channels to be connected on secure port

Expected results:
spice-gtk should connect to tls-port right away and fail the whole connection if the channel connection fails (iow it should behave exactly the same as spicec)

Additional info:
plaintext channels should be possible to be specified the same way but there is lack of plugin and controller support for them: bug 879343. It would be nice to have this issue handled for them in one go however.

Note that this _is not_ a security issue as the tls channel enforcement is done primarily server side where there is no similar problem.

Patches upstream.

Comment 2 Michal Skrivanek 2013-04-29 16:10:59 UTC
This is blocking bug 905930 which has a serious impact on RHEV SSO. The screen is locked whenever user connects. Currently the workaround in 905930 in 3.2 is to sleep for 2 seconds and if no other event comes just ignore the event. But that's clearly a very poor "solution"
