Accepting binary input where only letters are expected by an application is a very common source of security holes. An application that relies on s.isalpha() to guarantee that s does not contain non-ASCII characters when UTF-8 locale is in use, may have a security hole if it is ran with python 2.5. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9335> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
