Category: Extension Modules Group: Python 2.6 Status: Open Resolution: None >Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Yitz Gale (ygale) Assigned to: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Summary: posixmodule.c leaks crypto context on Windows Initial Comment: The Win API docs for CryptAcquireContext require that the context be released after use by calling CryptReleaseContext, but posixmodule.c fails to do so in win32_urandom(). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2007-01-04 22:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Originator: NO I fail to see the problem. Only a single crypto context is allocated, and it is used all the time, i.e. until the Python interpreter finishes, at which time it is automatically released by the operating system. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Yitz Gale (ygale) Date: 2007-01-03 13:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1033539 Originator: YES You might consider backporting this to 2.5 and 2.4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1626801&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
