Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: As part of initialization, spice server calls getaddrinfo(), so it can listen on socket(s) as provided in qemu-kvm command line. When getaddrinfo failed (e.g. due to a "bad" addr= option), only a warning was issued. Consequence: Spice initialization (reds_init_socket) continued and a call to getnameinfo() with bad parameters resulted in a segfault. Fix: When getaddrinfo() fails, spice fails reds_init_socket Result: Upon bad network params (such as "addr") option, spice fails it's initialization and does not segfault.

Description David Jaša 2013-03-06 05:27:02 EST
Description of problem:
1. run qemu with '-spice addr=[ipv6::in:brackets],<rest_of_options>'
2. qemu segfaults in getnameinfo()

This may be a bug in spice server that should reject or correct the value of addr= or in getnameinfo() that should be able to cope with such address

Comment 11 Pavel Šimerda (pavlix) 2013-03-06 06:22:22 EST
I don't think spice should use getnameinfo() during initialization. Is there a valid reason for that? For any input from the user (including configuration), getaddrinfo() should be used to gather the necessary data.

During the initialization of a service, the only binary addressing data I could think of would come from the kernel through netlink. But these should rarely be used for any reverse lookup.
Comment 12 Christophe Fergeau 2013-03-15 19:09:37 EDT
This is probably fixed by http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice/commit/?id=5a31221252b
Pavel, see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~teuf/spice/commit/?id=79c3a97 for some kind of explanations on the getnameinfo() call (summary: there is such a call in the post-getaddrinfo() loop, but its result is unused)
