Trent Mick <trentm@activestate.com>: This patch fixes possible overflow in the use of PyOS_GetLastModificationTime in getmtime.c and Python/import.c. Currently PyOS_GetLastModificationTime returns a C long. This can overflow on Win64 where sizeof(time_t) > sizeof(long). Besides it should logically return a time_t anyway (this patch changes this). As well, import.c uses PyOS_GetLastModificationTime for .pyc timestamping. There has been recent discussion about the .pyc header format on python-dev. This patch adds oveflow checking to import.c so that an exception will be raised if the modification time overflows. There are a few other minor 64-bit readiness changes made to the module as well: - size_t instead of int or long for function-local buffer and string length variables - one buffer overflow check was added (raises an exception on possible overflow, this overflow chance exists on 32-bit platforms as well), no other possible buffer overflows existed (from my analysis anyway) Closes SourceForge patch #100509.
