[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server] remote migration: fix online migration via API clients

[Fiona Ebner <f.ebner@proxmox.com>]

As reported in the community forum [0], when a remote migration
request comes in via an API client, the -T flag for Perl is set, so an
insecure dependency in a call like unlink() in forward_unix_socket()
will fail with:

> failed to write forwarding command - Insecure dependency in unlink while running with -T switch

To fix it, untaint the problematic socket addresses coming from the
remote side. Require that all sockets are below '/run/qemu-server/'
and end with '.migrate'. This allows extensions in the future while
still being quite strict.

There is no direct call to forward_unix_socket() in pve-container and
the call in PVE::StorageTunnel::storage_migrate() has no insecure
dependency for the local socket path.
