Boya Sun <boya....@case.edu> added the comment: Martin,
The reason why I think there is a possible overflow is that according to issue 5705, uid/gid overflows are fixed in the following functions: posix_setegid, posix_setreuid(), posix_setregid(), posix_setgid(). So I think a similar fix should also be applied to the function posix_lchown. Or did I misunderstand anything? And you're right. The previous patch is incorrect. I now submitted another patch that deals with the *actual* overflow of gid and uid. --- Victor, I agree that all posix_*chown() functions should also be fixed for the same overflow problem, and it's a good idea to create callback functions as you described. But if nobody does that, I can at least created more patches to fix other posix_*chown() functions. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file14873/patch_6873.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6873> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
