In existing senario, 'migrate' QAPI argument - string uri, is encoded
twice to extract migration parameters for stream connection. This is
not a good representation of migration wire protocol as it is a data
encoding scheme within a data encoding scheme. Qemu should be able to
directly work with results from QAPI without having to do a second
level parsing.
Modified 'migrate' QAPI design supports well defined MigrateChannel
struct which plays important role in avoiding double encoding
of uri strings.

qemu_uri_parsing() parses uri string (kept for backward
compatibility) and populate the MigrateChannel struct parameters.
Migration code flow for all required migration transport types -
socket, exec and rdma is modified.

By the time this check fires, the for() loop above has already
done out of bounds writes on argv[].

If someone invokes 'migrate' with the old URI style, the
strList will be 3 elements, and thus argv[4] is safe.

If someone invokes 'migrate' with thue new MigrateChannel style,
the strList can be arbitrarily long and thus argv[4] will be
risk of overflow.
Okay, Can you give me an example where strList can be very long in the new
MigrateChannel ? because in that case,
The new MigrateAddress struct allows the user to have arbitrary
command args, so for example I would expect to be able to do


  { "execute": "migrate",
      "arguments": {
          "channel": { "channeltype": "main",
                       "addr": { "transport": "exec",
                                 "exec": ["/bin/ssh",
                                         "-p", "6000",
                                         "-l", "root",
                                         "-o", "CheckHostIP=no",
                                         "-o", "ConnectTimeout=15",
                                          "somehost" ] } } } }



trace_migration_exec_outgoing(argv[2]);

will also be not correct right. Will have to come up with something that is
dynamic ?
Yes, that will need addressing too.

We already need to convert from strList to char ** in order
to call qio_channel_command_new_spawn.

Given that, you can use g_strjoinv(" ", argv) to generate a
combined string that can be given to the trace func.
Thankyou Daniel for the example. I understood properly now. Will try to handle both the cases - coming from uri as well as coming from MigrateChannel struct.
With regards,
Daniel
