[New-bugs-announce] [issue20428] _Py_open does not work with O_CREAT

[Alexandre Vassalotti]

New submission from Alexandre Vassalotti:

The _Py_open function in Python/fileutils.c cannot be given correctly the flag O_CREAT. According to the POSIX spec, open(2) _must_ be given an additional mode argument when O_CREAT is used.

_Py_open should be fixed to either to use a reasonable default value for the mode argument (e.g., O666) or to refuse the O_CREAT flag.
