OK, Tres made the change, with the relevant bit of the log message being:
Iteration over sequences could in some cases fail to check access
to an object obtained from the sequence. Subsequent checks (such
as for attributes access) of such an object would still be
performed, but it should not have been possible to obtain the
object in the first place.
List and dictionary instance methods such as the get method of
dictionary objects were not security aware and could return an
object without checking access to that object. Subsequent checks
(such as for attributes access) of such an object would still be
performed, but it should not have been possible to obtain the
object in the first place.
So I presume that the change *intended* to move the onus of validation from
the guarded_getitem method to the __getitem__ method of the container? No
more trusted access to custom (ie. not builtin) sequence/mapping objects?
