Graham Dumpleton closed MODPYTHON-173. -------------------------------------- > DbmSession creates world readable db file > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: MODPYTHON-173 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-173 > Project: mod_python > Issue Type: Bug > Components: session > Affects Versions: 3.2.8 > Reporter: Jim Gallacher > Assigned To: Jim Gallacher > Fix For: 3.3, 3.2.10 > > > DbmSession uses the default mode when creating the db file. As a result the > file is world readable, which may be undesirable where sensitive informaiton > is stored in the session. Currently the users are required to chmod the file > manually. This can be fixed by using the option mode argument when the file > is opened. > Quoting from the python anydbm documentation: > open( filename[, flag[, mode]] > The optional mode argument is the Unix mode of the file, used only when the > database has to be created. It defaults to octal 0666 (and will be modified > by the prevailing umask). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
