* Security patch for Unix by Chris McDonough.Guido van Rossum2000-04-241-7/+21
| | | | | | This uses the same precautions when trying to find a temporary directory as when the actual tempfile is created (using O_CREAT and O_EXCL). On non-posix platforms, nothing is changed.
* The third and final doc-string sweep by Ka-Ping Yee.Guido van Rossum2000-02-041-8/+6
| | | | | | | | The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries. A new docstring was added to formatter. The docstring for os.py was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.
* In class TemporaryFileWrapper, don't cache attributes of tpye int --Guido van Rossum1999-06-011-1/+2
| | | | | | these happen to be 'closed' and 'softspace', which may change! Noted by Dave Ascher (with slightly different solution).
* Improvement to the previous fix suggested by Thomas Bellman: if theGuido van Rossum1998-10-241-2/+6

* The TemporaryFile() function has a security leak -- because theGuido van Rossum1998-10-241-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | filenames generated are easily predictable, it is possible to trick an unsuspecting program into overwriting another file by creating a symbolic link with the predicted name. Fix this by using the low-level os.open() function with the O_EXCL flag and mode 0700. On non-Unix platforms, presumably there are no symbolic links so the problem doesn't exist. The explicit test for Unix (posix, actually) makes it possible to change the non-Unix logic to work without a try-except clause. The mktemp() file is as unsafe as ever.
