[issue21557] os.popen & os.system lack shell-related security warnings
by Chris Rebert Feb. 13, 2015

Feb. 13, 2015

New submission from Chris Rebert: Since these functions run shell commands, which is a common vector for security-related bugs (see * http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/78.html * http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/88.html ), I suggest that they should have security warning boxes analogous to the one for the `subprocess` module: https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html#frequently-used-arguments ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 218921 nosy: cvrebert, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: os.popen & os.system lack shell-related security warnings versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21557> _______________________________________

It looks like you messed up the 'Download Python Documentation' page yesterday. When I go to https://docs.python.org/3/download.html And click on any of the 'Download' links, I get the dreaded '404 Not Found' page.

[issue23453] Opening a stream with tarfile.open() triggers a TypeError: can't concat bytes to str error
by Martin Panter Feb. 12, 2015

Feb. 12, 2015

Martin Panter added the comment: Using fileobj=sys.stdin.buffer instead should do the trick. The “tarfile” module would expect a binary stream, not a text stream. Given the documentation currently says, “Use this variant in combination with e.g. sys.stdin, . . .”, I presume that is why you were using plain stdin. The documentation should be clarified. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python, vadmium _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23453> _______________________________________

[issue20699] Behavior of ZipFile with file-like object and BufferedWriter.
by Martin Panter Feb. 12, 2015

Feb. 12, 2015

Martin Panter added the comment: Posting patch v2: * Changed readinto() argument descriptions to “a pre-allocated, writable bytes-like buffer”, for both RawIOBase and BufferedIOBase * Integrated the single-use test_memoryio.BytesIOMixin test class, which tricked me when I did the first patch * Added tests for BufferedRWPair, BytesIO.readinto() etc methods with non-bytearray() buffers * Fix _pyio.BufferedReader.readinto/1() for non-bytearray ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file38107/bytes-like-param.v2.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20699> _______________________________________
