Re: [sqlmap-users] unhandled exception - MemoryError

[Devon <dev...@ao...>]

As a follow up to my previous post, I think this should summarize what I was attempting to say.  The issue causing the memory error appears to be on line 210 of lib/core/target.py:



            for line in readSessionFP.readlines(): # xreadlines doesn't return unicode strings when codec.open() is used





I can demonstrate the error like this:


$ python
Python 2.7.1+ (r271:86832, Apr 11 2011, 18:13:53) 
[GCC 4.5.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import codecs
>>> f = codecs.open('session', 'r', 'utf8', 'replace')
>>> i = 0
>>> for line in f.readlines():
...   i += 1
... 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/codecs.py", line 679, in readlines
    return self.reader.readlines(sizehint)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/codecs.py", line 588, in readlines
    data = self.read()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/codecs.py", line 477, in read
    newchars, decodedbytes = self.decode(data, self.errors)
MemoryError

However, you can read the file successfully like this:



$ python
Python 2.7.1+ (r271:86832, Apr 11 2011, 18:13:53) 
[GCC 4.5.2] on linux2

>>> import codecs
>>> f = codecs.open('session', 'r', 'utf8', 'replace')
>>> i = 0
>>> for line in f:
...   i += 1
... 
>>> 






I changed line 210 to this and it appeared to work, although I do not know of any side-effects (if any).
