Fix an open redirection vulnerability in the `http.server` module when
an URI path starts with `//` that could produce a 301 Location header
with a misleading target. Vulnerability discovered, and logic fix
proposed, by Hamza Avvan (@hamzaavvan).

Note: This change is not effective on Microsoft Windows.
Cookies can store sensitive information and should therefore be protected
against unauthorized third parties. This is also described in issue #79096.
The filesystem permissions are currently set to 644, everyone can read the
file. This commit changes the permissions to 600, only the creater of the file
can read and modify it. This improves security, because it reduces the attack
surface. Now the attacker needs control of the user that created the cookie or
a ways to circumvent the filesystems permissions.
This change is backwards incompatible. Systems that rely on world-readable
cookies will breake. However, one could argue that those are misconfigured in
the first place.
Add the -P command line option and the PYTHONSAFEPATH environment
variable to not prepend a potentially unsafe path to sys.path.
* Add sys.flags.safe_path flag.
* Add PyConfig.safe_path member.
* Programs/_bootstrap_python.c uses config.safe_path=0.
* Update subprocess._optim_args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle
the -P command line option.
* Modules/getpath.py sets safe_path to 1 if a "._pth" file is
present.
Update the vendored copy of libexpat to 2.4.1 (from 2.2.8) to get the
fix for the CVE-2013-0340 "Billion Laughs" vulnerability. This copy
is most used on Windows and macOS.

Reverts commit e653d4d8e8 and makes
parsing even more strict. Like socket.inet_pton() any leading zero
is now treated as invalid input.

Accessing the following attributes will now fire PEP 578 style audit hooks as ("object.__getattr__", obj, name):
* PyTracebackObject: tb_frame
* PyFrameObject: f_code
* PyGenObject: gi_code, gi_frame
* PyCoroObject: cr_code, cr_frame
* PyAsyncGenObject: ag_code, ag_frame
Add an AUDIT_READ attribute flag aliased to READ_RESTRICTED.
Update obsolete flag documentation.
Commit 93d50a6a8d / GH-21855 changed the
order of variable definitions, which introduced a potential invalid free
bug. Py_buffer object is now initialized earlier and the result of
Keccak initialize is verified.

Fix Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability in
urllib.request.AbstractBasicAuthHandler. The ReDoS-vulnerable regex
has quadratic worst-case complexity and it allows cause a denial of
service when identifying crafted invalid RFCs. This ReDoS issue is on
the client side and needs remote attackers to control the HTTP server.
CVE-2021-3426: Remove the "getfile" feature of the pydoc module which
could be abused to read arbitrary files on the disk (directory
traversal vulnerability). Moreover, even source code of Python
modules can contain sensitive data like passwords. Vulnerability
reported by David Schwörer.
bpo-43285: Make ftplib not trust the PASV response.
The IPv4 address value returned from the server in response to the PASV command
should not be trusted. This prevents a malicious FTP server from using the
response to probe IPv4 address and port combinations on the client network.
Instead of using the returned address, we use the IP address we're
already connected to. This is the strategy other ftp clients adopted,
and matches the only strategy available for the modern IPv6 EPSV command
where the server response must return a port number and nothing else.
For the rare user who _wants_ this ugly behavior, set a `trust_server_pasv_ipv4_address`
attribute on your `ftplib.FTP` instance to True.
bpo-42967: [security] Address a web cache-poisoning issue reported in urllib.parse.parse_qsl().
urllib.parse will only us "&" as query string separator by default instead of both ";" and "&" as allowed in earlier versions. An optional argument seperator with default value "&" is added to specify the separator.

* bpo-40791: Make compare_digest more constant-time.
The existing volatile `left`/`right` pointers guarantee that the reads will all occur, but does not guarantee that they will be _used_. So a compiler can still short-circuit the loop, saving e.g. the overhead of doing the xors and especially the overhead of the data dependency between `result` and the reads. That would change performance depending on where the first unequal byte occurs. This change removes that optimization.
(This is change #1 from https://bugs.python.org/issue40791 .)
* Prevent some possible DoS attacks via providing invalid Plist files
with extremely large number of objects or collection sizes.
* Raise InvalidFileException for too large bytes and string size instead of returning garbage.
* Raise InvalidFileException instead of ValueError for specific invalid datetime (NaN).
* Raise InvalidFileException instead of TypeError for non-hashable dict keys.
* Add more tests for invalid Plist files.
The __hash__() methods of classes IPv4Interface and IPv6Interface had issue
of generating constant hash values of 32 and 128 respectively causing hash collisions.
The fix uses the hash() function to generate hash values for the objects
instead of XOR operation
The AbstractBasicAuthHandler class of the urllib.request module uses
an inefficient regular expression which can be exploited by an
attacker to cause a denial of service. Fix the regex to prevent the
catastrophic backtracking. Vulnerability reported by Ben Caller
and Matt Schwager.
AbstractBasicAuthHandler of urllib.request now parses all
WWW-Authenticate HTTP headers and accepts multiple challenges per
header: use the realm of the first Basic challenge.
