Graham Dumpleton resolved MODPYTHON-173. ---------------------------------------- Fix Version/s: 3.3 Resolution: Fixed > DbmSession creates world readable db file > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: MODPYTHON-173 > URL: http://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.x > > > 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. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
