fstat may block for long time if the file descriptor is on a
non-responsive NFS server, hanging all threads. Most fstat() calls are
handled by _Py_fstat(), releasing the GIL internally, but but
_Py_fstat_noraise() does not release the GIL, and most calls release the
GIL explicitly around it.
This patch fixes last 2 calls to _Py_fstat_no_raise(), avoiding hangs
when calling:
- mmap.mmap()
- os.urandom()
- random.seed()
In some conditions the standard streams will be None or closed in the child process (for example if using "pythonw" instead of "python" on Windows). Avoid failing with a non-0 exit code in those conditions.
Report and initial patch by poxthegreat.
* fix a typo: documention -> documentation
* fix the type of IPv?Network.hostmask
* add documentation about IPv?Network.netmask
* fix IPv6Network constructor doc that extended netmasks are not supported
Fix a crash on fork when using a custom memory allocator (ex: using
PYTHONMALLOC env var).
_PyGILState_Reinit() and _PyInterpreterState_Enable() now use the
default RAW memory allocator to allocate a new interpreters mutex on
fork.
The length in strncpy is one char too short and as a result it leads
to a build warning with gcc 8. Comment out the strncpy since the
interpreter aborts immediately after anyway.
* bpo-32991: Add test capturing expectation.
DocTestFinder.find should return an empty list for doctests in a namespace package.
* bpo-32991: Restore expectation that inspect.getfile on a namespace package raises TypeError.
Like Python, IDLE optionally runs one startup file in the Shell window
before presenting the first interactive input prompt. For IDLE,
option -s runs a file named in environmental variable IDLESTARTUP or
PYTHONSTARTUP; -r file runs file. Python sets __file__ to the startup
file name before running the file and unsets it before the first
prompt. IDLE now does the same when run normally, without the -n
option.
* Prevent low-grade poplib REDOS (CVE-2018-1060)
The regex to test a mail server's timestamp is susceptible to
catastrophic backtracking on long evil responses from the server.
Happily, the maximum length of malicious inputs is 2K thanks
to a limit introduced in the fix for CVE-2013-1752.
A 2KB evil response from the mail server would result in small slowdowns
(milliseconds vs. microseconds) accumulated over many apop calls.
This is a potential DOS vector via accumulated slowdowns.
Replace it with a similar non-vulnerable regex.
The new regex is RFC compliant.
The old regex was non-compliant in edge cases.
* Prevent difflib REDOS (CVE-2018-1061)
The default regex for IS_LINE_JUNK is susceptible to
catastrophic backtracking.
This is a potential DOS vector.
Replace it with an equivalent non-vulnerable regex.
Also introduce unit and REDOS tests for difflib.
