Public bug reported:
If the name of a machine (as set with the -name argument) has a length
longer than 1024, (RFB) VNC clients will not receive a correct RFB
ServerInit message.
I suspect this is the problem:
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/ui/vnc.c#L2463
The return value of snprintf is used as the value for the name-length field in the ServerInit message.
This is problematic for names that were truncated to 1024, as the length will now be bigger than the actual name.
I think a quick fix would be to simply report min(size,1024) to the
client...

** Description changed:
If the name of a machine (as set with the -name argument) has a length
longer than 1024, (RFB) VNC clients will not receive a correct RFB
ServerInit message.
I suspect this is the problem:
- https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/ui/vnc.c#L2463
+ https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/v2.7.0-rc5/ui/vnc.c#L2459
The return value of snprintf is used as the value for the name-length field in the ServerInit message.
This is problematic for names that were truncated to 1024, as the length will now be bigger than the actual name.
I think a quick fix would be to simply report min(size,1024) to the
client...

The right fix here is to switch to use g_strdup_printf and avoid a fixed
length stack buffer entirely.
