No, I meant for linux-pass-unterminated.diff to be checked in so that applications could always send datagrams back to the address they got them from, even when it was 108 bytes long. As it is run only on Linux, testMaxPathLen does not leave space for a null terminator because Linux just ignores it (that is what makes it possible to bind to a 108-byte address and thus trigger the bug). ---------- title: socket: Buffer overrun while reading unterminated AF_UNIX addresses -> socket: Buffer overrun while reading unterminated AF_UNIX addresses _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8372> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
