Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de> added the comment:
The suggested approach is merely a heuristic that reduces the impact of a zipbomb. An attacker can circumvent the heuristic. In best case scenario, the approach just increases the cost factor for a successful DoS. For example an attacker may have to upload 10 larger zip files instead of one smaller zip file to fill up the disk space of a server. The correct approach is to always verify all data from untrusted sources. It's the 101 of application security. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36260> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
