.. nonce: fVM3sg
.. release date: 2023-10-13
.. section: Security
Fixed an issue where instances of :class:`ssl.SSLSocket` were vulnerable to
a bypass of the TLS handshake and included protections (like certificate
verification) and treating sent unencrypted data as if it were
post-handshake TLS encrypted data. Security issue reported as
`CVE-2023-40217
<https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-40217>`_ by Aapo
Oksman. Patch by Gregory P. Smith.

PEP 669 specifies that ``sys.monitoring.register_callback`` will generate an
audit event. Pre-releases of Python 3.12 did not generate the audit event.
This is now fixed.

Split the tokenizer into two separate directories: - One part includes the
actual lexeme producing logic and lives in ``Parser/lexer``. - The second
part wraps the lexer according to the different tokenization modes we have

``Parser/tokenizer``.

On a Python built in debug mode, :c:func:`Py_DECREF()` now calls
``_Py_NegativeRefcount()`` if the object is a dangling pointer to
deallocated memory: memory filled with ``0xDD`` "dead byte" by the debug

The "pending call" machinery now works for all interpreters, not just the
main interpreter, and runs in all threads, not just the main thread. Some
calls are still only done in the main thread, ergo in the main interpreter.
This change does not affect signal handling nor the existing public C-API
(``Py_AddPendingCall()``), which both still only target the main thread. The
new functionality is meant strictly for internal use for now, since
consequences of its use are not well understood yet outside some very
restricted cases. This change brings the capability in line with the
intention when the state was made per-interpreter several years ago.

interpreter shutdown (such as from :mod:`atexit` handlers) is no longer

Specializes calls to most Python classes. Specifically, any class that
inherits from ``object``, or another Python class, and does not override
``__new__``.
The specialized instruction does the following:
1. Creates the object (by calling ``object.__new__``)
2. Pushes a shim frame to the frame stack (to cleanup after ``__init__``)
3. Pushes the frame for ``__init__`` to the frame stack
Speeds up the instantiation of most Python classes.

On Linux where :mod:`subprocess` can use the ``vfork()`` syscall for faster
spawning, prevent the parent process from blocking other threads by dropping
the GIL while it waits for the vfork'ed child process ``exec()`` outcome.

rest of the application.

Skip ``test_gdb`` if gdb is unable to retrieve Python frame objects: if a
frame is ``<optimized out>``. When Python is built with "clang -Og", gdb can
fail to retrive the *frame* parameter of ``_PyEval_EvalFrameDefault()``. In
this case, tests like ``py_bt()`` are likely to fail. Without getting access
to Python frames, ``python-gdb.py`` is mostly clueless on retrieving the
Python traceback. Moreover, ``test_gdb`` is no longer skipped on macOS if
Python is built with Clang. Patch by Victor Stinner.
