New submission from Xinrong Lin <414039...@qq.com>:

I am currently doing some research on the security of CPython. I used the open 
source vulnerability analysis engine, Infer(https://fbinfer.com/), to scan the 
native code of CPython 3.10.0. 

The scan results show that there are still a number of vulnerabilities in the 
CPython native code, such as Null dereference, Uninitialized variable, 
Resource/Memory leak, etc. Moreover, I found that some of the vulnerabilities 
are related to Python/C API. I enclose the vulnerability report for your 
reference.

Based on the research of the result, I tried to design a tool to automatically 
detect and repair vulnerabilities in CPython and make this tool available. See:

Python is my favourite programming language. I sincerely hope that I can help 
Python become stronger and safer. I hope this discovery can be useful for you 
to develop Python in the future.
