SafeTarFile does not pass the existing tests, mainly because the existing file Lib/test/tarfiletestdata/testtar.tar seems to be "unsafe", producing errors like these: tarfile.SecurityError: <TarInfo 'ustar/blktype' at 0x7fb9119b3bb0>: block device tarfile.SecurityError: <TarInfo 'ustar/regtype' at 0x7fb9119b3910>: duplicate name It seems like the solution here is to remove block devices and duplicate names from testtar.tar. However, is this desirable -- do we need to keep these in for the tests for TarFile? ---------- versions: +Python 3.9 -Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue21109> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
