New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>: "w" format is dangerous because it doesn't give the size of the buffer: the caller may write outside the buffer (buffer overflow).
"w*" and "w#" formats are fine. It looks like "w" format is not used in trunk nor py3k (only w# and w*). ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 106702 nosy: haypo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Remove "w" format of PyParse_ParseTuple() versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8850> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
