See my recent checkins and what I just sent to python-announce (not sure when the moderator will get to it): | Subject: Deleting rexec.py and Bastion.py | From: Guido van Rossum <guido@python.org> | To: python-announce@python.org | Date: Mon, 06 Jan 2003 11:17:50 -0500 | | There have been reports of serious security problems with rexec.py and | Bastion.py starting with Python 2.2. We do not have the resources to | fix these problems. Therefore, I will disable these modules in the next | 2.3 alpha release and in the next 2.2 release (2.2.3, no release date | scheduled). If you are using rexec.py or Bastion.py with any version | of Python 2.2 or 2.3 to safeguard anonymously submitted source code, I | strongly recommend that you stop doing so immediately, because it is | *not* safe. | | There are also known security problems with older versions of Python, | but the holes created by Python 2.2 are much bigger (big enough to | drive an airplane carrier through). --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
