* [3.11] gh-95778: CVE-2020-10735: Prevent DoS by very large int() (#96500)Gregory P. Smith2022-09-021-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Integer to and from text conversions via CPython's bignum `int` type is not safe against denial of service attacks due to malicious input. Very large input strings with hundred thousands of digits can consume several CPU seconds. This PR comes fresh from a pile of work done in our private PSRT security response team repo.

| | | | | | | | | | | | HTTPS (GH-95527) (GH-95643) If an HTTP link is redirected to a same looking HTTPS link, the latter can be used directly without changes in readability and behavior. It protects from a men-in-the-middle attack. This change does not affect Python examples..

| | | | | | | | | | | | Add the -P command line option and the PYTHONSAFEPATH environment variable to not prepend a potentially unsafe path to sys.path. * Add sys.flags.safe_path flag. * Add PyConfig.safe_path member. * Programs/_bootstrap_python.c uses config.safe_path=0. * Update subprocess._optim_args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle the -P command line option. * Modules/getpath.py sets safe_path to 1 if a "._pth" file is present.

| | | | | | When Python is built with "./configure --enable-pystats" (if the Py_STATS macro is defined), the _Py_GetSpecializationStats() function must be exported, since it's used by the _opcode extension which is built as a shared library.

| | | | | | | (gh-28940) The default was "off". Switching it to "on" means users get the benefit of frozen stdlib modules without having to do anything. There's a special-case for running-in-source-tree, so contributors don't get surprised when their stdlib changes don't get used. https://bugs.python.org/issue45020

| | | | | | | frozen modules. (gh-28320) Currently we freeze several modules into the runtime. For each of these modules it is essential to bootstrapping the runtime that they be frozen. Any other stdlib module that we later freeze into the runtime is not essential. We can just as well import from the .py file. This PR lets users explicitly choose which should be used, with the new "-X frozen_modules=[on|off]" CLI flag. The default is "off" for now. https://bugs.python.org/issue45020
