New submission from Michael Vogt: The tarfile.makelink() code crashes with a maximum recursion error when it unpacks a tarfile that contains a symlink into a directory that already contains this symlink.
Attached is a standalone testcase (that probably better explains whats going on :) and a possible fix. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: tarfile-extract-crash.py messages: 233907 nosy: mvo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Crashes when tarfile contains a symlink and unpack directory contain it too type: crash Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37688/tarfile-extract-crash.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23228> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
