Description Miro Hrončok 2013-03-26 12:43:44 UTC
Spec URL: https://raw.github.com/hroncok/SPECS/master/python-defusedxml.spec
SRPM URL: https://github.com/downloads/hroncok/SPECS/python-defusedxml-0.4-1.fc18.src.rpm

Description:

The defusedxml package contains several Python-only workarounds and fixes for
denial of service and other vulnerabilities in Python's XML libraries. In order
to benefit from the protection you just have to import and use the listed
functions / classes from the right defusedxml module instead of the original
module.

Comment 1 Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda 2013-03-26 15:58:13 UTC
I'll review this.

Comment 2 Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda 2013-03-26 16:24:37 UTC
I can't find anything wrong with this package. Rpmlint is silent (except of some typical "spelling-errors") and the package follows all guidelines.

APPROVED

Comment 14 Avram Lubkin 2015-07-22 12:01:16 UTC
Looks like python-defusedxml was never added to EPEL 7. Can we get that added?


Also, I'm attaching a couple patches:


python-defusedxml-0.4.1-entity_loop.patch

It looks like in the mass rebuilds, --nocheck is used, so the tests don't actually run, but when I rebuild manually, I noticed a few of the tests fail with:

lxml.etree.XMLSyntaxError: Detected an entity reference loop, line 1, column 4

This is due to a security patch in libxml2. It's legitimate, but the tests are expecting the wrong exception. I emailed the maintainer about it, but haven't heard anything yet. This patch modifies the tests so they check for what is expected.


python-defusedxml-0.4.1-format_strings.patch

This is from a pull request in the defusedxml repo. It fixes some string formatting syntax so it work in Python 2.6 as well as 2.7+
