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: https://github.com/PVMPATCH/PVMPatch 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. ---------- components: Build files: CPython3.10.0_vulnerability_report.txt messages: 409841 nosy: 414039482 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: About vulnerabilities in Cpython native code type: security versions: Python 3.10 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file50544/CPython3.10.0_vulnerability_report.txt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46280> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
