New submission from Sebastien Luttringer <seblu+pyt...@seblu.net>: This patch fix extraction of tarfile which override tarfile uid/gid
tarfile.py extract function override uid/gid of a file if uid/gid is not existant on the system. When user is not root (uid 0), common behaviour of extracting is correct. When user is root, python implementation try to preserve (like tar -p) ownership from tarball, but if uid/gid doesn't exist it remplace by process uid/gid. This leads to fake the expected behaviour of preservation! By example, extracting tarball with a root filesystem will create incorrect ownership for file where owner/group is not on the current filesystem. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: tarfile-bug.patch keywords: patch messages: 142969 nosy: seblu priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Incorrect tarfile.py extraction type: behavior versions: Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23046/tarfile-bug.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12841> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
