Title:
qemu doesn't sanitize command line options carrying plaintext
passwords
Status in QEMU:
Expired
Bug description:
A slight security problem exists with qemu's lack of sanitization of
argv[], for cases where the user may have specified a plaintext
password for spice/vnc authorization. (Yes, it's not great to use
this facility, but it's convenient and not grotesquely unsafe, were it
not for this bug.) It would be nice if those plaintext passwords were
nuked from the command line, so a subsequent "ps awux" didn't show
them for all to see.
