New submission from Christian Heimes: In Python/pythonrun.c PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags() may leak a FILE pointer if closeit is False and maybe_pyc_file returns true. This happens when the filename ends with ".pyc" or ".pyc". In this case the file is opened a second time with fopen() a few lines lower and assigned to the same variable "fp". However "fp" is never closed.
The bug was found by Coverity as CID 719689. Georg: I've set the priority to release blocker as a resource leak of a file pointer and therefore rare file descriptor is IMHO a severe issue. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl files: closeown.patch keywords: patch messages: 170142 nosy: brett.cannon, christian.heimes, georg.brandl priority: release blocker severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags() can leak a FILE pointer type: resource usage Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file27159/closeown.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15895> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
