+
+Converting between :class:`int` and :class:`str` in bases other than 2
+(binary), 4, 8 (octal), 16 (hexadecimal), or 32 such as base 10 (decimal)
+now raises a :exc:`ValueError` if the number of digits in string form is
+above a limit to avoid potential denial of service attacks due to the
+algorithmic complexity. This is a mitigation for `CVE-2020-10735
+<https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10735>`_.
+
+This new limit can be configured or disabled by environment variable,
+command line flag, or :mod:`sys` APIs. See the :ref:`integer string
+conversion length limitation <int_max_str_digits>` documentation.  The
+default limit is 4300 digits in string form.
+
+Patch by Gregory P. Smith [Google] and Christian Heimes [Red Hat] with
+feedback from Victor Stinner, Thomas Wouters, Steve Dower, Ned Deily, and
+Mark Dickinson.
