Stefan Krah added the comment: Isn't IDLE supposed to be a Python shell? As I understand this issue, you'd have the same "exploit" by adding this to your .bashrc:
echo "EXPLOIT" > /root/exploit Then, as a normal user, run: sudo bash It would be nice to get rid of the exec, but why is this an exploit? ---------- nosy: +skrah _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16248> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
