New submission from Oskar Hahn: When xdrlib.Packer().pack_string() is called with an unsupported value, it raises a TypeError. But it calles self.pack_uint(n) before it raises the exception so the buffer is changed.
There are two possible solutions to solve this behaviour. The argument s can be tested to be supported, or undo the call of self.pack_uint(n). I added two alternative patches for this two solutions. This is my first patch for cpython, I hope it is ok. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: test_value.patch keywords: patch messages: 239396 nosy: ostcar priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: When xdrlib.Packer().pack_string() fails, the Packer is corrupted versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file38710/test_value.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23790> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
