Submitted By: Douglas R. Reno Date: 2025-05-20 Initial Package Version: 3.13.3 Upstream Status: Applied Origin: Upstream (https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/133944) Description: Fixes a use-after-free vulnerability in the unicode_escape decoder with the error handler. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2025-4516, and the expected behavior would be a crash. The fix has been backported upstream back to Python 3.9. diff -Naurp Python-3.13.3.orig/Include/internal/pycore_bytesobject.h Python-3.13.3/Include/internal/pycore_bytesobject.h --- Python-3.13.3.orig/Include/internal/pycore_bytesobject.h 2025-04-08 08:54:08.000000000 -0500 +++ Python-3.13.3/Include/internal/pycore_bytesobject.h 2025-05-20 14:09:52.564307348 -0500 @@ -20,6 +20,10 @@ extern PyObject* _PyBytes_FromHex( // Helper for PyBytes_DecodeEscape that detects invalid escape chars. // Export for test_peg_generator. +PyAPI_FUNC(PyObject*) _PyBytes_DecodeEscape2(const char *, Py_ssize_t, + const char *, + int *, const char **); +// Export for binary compatibility.
