New submission from Aaron Galea: Hi
We have an application created with python2.7 and created into an executable using py2exe. However we are getting an issue with Windows 8 certification due to compiler parameters. We would like to have this application Windows 8 certified but we can't get pass the following warning: =============================================== Windows security features test WARNING Binary analyzer • Warning: The binary analyzer test detected the following errors: ◦File C:\Program Files (x86)\TestApp\test.exe has failed the DBCheck check. ◦File C:\Program Files (x86)\TestApp\test.exe has failed the NXCheck check. • Impact if not fixed: If the app doesn’t use the available Windows protections, it can increase the vulnerability of customer's computer to malware. • How to fix: Apply the SAFESEH, DYNAMICBASE, and NXCOMPAT options when you link the app. See link below for more information: Fixing Binary Analyzer Errors ======================================================================== In order to fix this issue I had to modify the file msvc9compiler.py by changing the following line from: self.ldflags_shared = ['/DLL', '/nologo', '/INCREMENTAL:NO'] to self.ldflags_shared = ['/DLL', '/nologo', '/INCREMENTAL:NO', '/DYNAMICBASE', '/SAFESEH', '/NXCOMPAT'] and rebuild py2exe. Once I have done this the test passed. I could go about it by having local patch available to my team but preferably I try to avoid patching the standard python modules. My question is if there is another way to do this? and whether it would be a good idea to include these flags in future distutils? ---------- assignee: eric.araujo components: Distutils messages: 168859 nosy: agale031176, eric.araujo, tarek priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Windows 8 certification type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15762> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
