/**************************************************************************/ [bugs #676] Latest Modifications: Changes by: Mathieu Roy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 'Date: mar 07.09.2004 à 17:06 (Europe/Paris) ------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ---------------------------- About http://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=4065 -> It is not a bug that the update is sent even if the attachment failed, since we do not refuse the bug posting and the rest of the submitted data is well registered. -> strlen() is maybe not very efficient for large files, but what else? BTW, on large files, apache/PHP should drop the request by itself. -> I believe it is on purpose that the filesize test is made after the addslashes(). Otherwise, why not using only filesize(). It is confusing for users, I'm willing to admit it. But file upload is something very sensitive when it comes to webservers, frequently used for exploit. We're forced to rush addslashes() when inserting data in the database to avoid malicious exploits. But I guess someone could act maliciously if we do filesize checks before the addslashes: someone could forge a file to triple the size after the addslashes() call, so he could upload a file way way bigger than the limit that would pass the check. So in fact, we should probably explain the reason of the refusal more in details, but not change the test. /**************************************************************************/ [bugs #676] Full Item Snapshot: URL: <http://gna.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=676> Project: Savane Submitted by: Mathieu Roy On: lun 06.09.2004 à 18:58 Category: None Severity: 1 - Trivial Priority: A - Later Resolution: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: yeupou Status: Open Release: 1.0.1-CERN Planned Release: Summary: (CERN) Fix code related to email addresses in case of 'add cc' Original Submission: Fix code related to email addresses in case of 'add cc' - include/trackers_run/index.php Commentaires ------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- Date: mar 07.09.2004 à 17:06 By: Mathieu Roy <yeupou> About http://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=4065 -> It is not a bug that the update is sent even if the attachment failed, since we do not refuse the bug posting and the rest of the submitted data is well registered. -> strlen() is maybe not very efficient for large files, but what else?
