It raises a lot of questions about what was OK in 2007 vs what's OK in 2022. The issue is very complicated and has a wild story surrounding it. There is no reason to not fix this in 2022.</p> Show Notes <ul dir="auto"> <li><a href="https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2007-4559" rel= "nofollow" data-turbo-frame="">CVE-2007-4559</a></li> <li><a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=263261" rel="nofollow" data-turbo-frame="">Red Hat Bug</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.theregister.com/2022/09/22/python_vulnerability_tarfile/" rel="nofollow" data-turbo-frame="">Register story</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/45385" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url= "/python/cpython/issues/45385/hovercard" data-turbo-frame= "">Response from upstream</a></li> <li><a href= "https://bugs.python.org/file8339/insecure_pathnames.diff" rel= "nofollow" data-turbo-frame="">Upstream patch</a></li> <li><a href="https://main.zippslip.com/" rel="nofollow" data-turbo-frame="">ZippSlip</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/73974" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url= "/python/cpython/issues/73974/hovercard" data-turbo-frame= "">Current upstream bug</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/expressjs/csurf" data-turbo-frame= "">CSURF</a></li> </ul>

Episode 345 - Cheap hacking devices turn security upside down

Open Source Security is a media project to help showcase and educate on open source security. Our goal is to give the community a platform educate both developers and users on how open source security works.

There's a lot of good work happening that doesn't get attention because there's no marketing department behind it, they don't have a developer relations team posting on LinkedIn every two hours. Let's focus on those people and teams then learn what they do and how they do it. The goal is to hear from the people doing the work, they know what's up, they have a lot to teach us. We just have to listen.
