Problem: Seems harmless right? Well, if someone was to send a request of "\x1a\x09" or with "\x1a\x09" at the end to a server/client running on a Python 2.3 platform, it could cause a denial of service. POC?: I tested this out by sending "GET \x1a\x09 HTTP/1.0\r\n" to the BaseHTTPServer included in the python libs directory and it FREAKED at the GET request and disconnected me. AND, when I tried to end the server with the interupt key, I had to press it several times for about two minutes.
(Without a Win32 available for a test) The -u command line switch should resolve that issue. nd -- my @japh = (sub{q~Just~},sub{q~Another~},sub{q~Perl~},sub{q~Hacker~}); my $japh = q[sub japh { }]; print join ######################### [ $japh =~ /{(.)}/] -> [0] => map $_ -> () # André Malo # => @japh; # http://pub.perlig.de/ # _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
