Tracker meta-issue
by Steven D'Aprano Aug. 17, 2013

Aug. 17, 2013

Is this the right place to request somebody look at an issue in the meta-tracker? http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta/issue517 Replying to reviews gives an AttributeError exception. This was reported three months ago, and is currently unassigned. Actually, on closer look, it seems to be the same issue as here: http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta/issue484 which was ten months ago. Thanks, Steven

Dealing with import lock deadlock in Import Hooks
by Arnaud Fontaine Aug. 17, 2013

Aug. 17, 2013

[I initially posted this email to python-list but didn't get any reply, probably because this is too related to python core, so I'm posting it again here, hope that's ok...] Hello, I'm currently working on implementing Import Hooks (PEP302) with Python 2.7 to be able to import modules whose code is in ZODB. However, I have stumbled upon a widely known issue about import deadlock[0][1] (note that this issue is not directly related to ZODB, but a more general question about dealing with import lock deadlock for Import Hooks), basically: Thread 1 is trying to import a module 'foo.bar' (where 'foo' is a package containing dynamic modules) handled by Import Hooks I implemented, so import lock is acquired before even running the hooks (Python/import.c:PyImport_ImportModuleLevel()). Then, these import hooks try to load objects from ZODB and a request is sent and handled by another thread (Thread 2) which itself tries to import another module. Of course, this causes a deadlock because the first thread still holds import lock. I have thought about the following solutions: * Backport the patch applied in python 3.3 from issue 9260[0]. This would be the best option because it would mean that even when trying to import any module from package 'foo', other modules and packages can be imported, which would solve my issue. However, I'm not sure it could be released into python 2.7? * Within the hooks, protect the Import Hooks with a separate lock for the loader method. This would prevent any other thread to import any modules from 'foo' package but still allows to call the finder method (ignoring module fullname not starting with 'foo') along with other finder methods, so that other ZODB modules can be imported. Then, in the loader method, until the module is actually inserted into sys.modules and then other load_module() PEP302 responsabilities being taken care of (such as exec the code), release the import lock so that Thread 2 can process requests and send objects back to Thread 1. About the finder method, I think that the separate lock is enough and releasing the import lock until the end of the method should be enough. However, even after trying to understand import.c, I'm not sure this is enough and that releasing import lock would not have nasty side-effects, any thoughts about that? * Fix the ZODB code to not avoid import but to me this seems like a dirty hack because it could happen again and I would prefer to fix this issue once and for all. Any thoughts or suggestion welcome, thanks! Regards, Arnaud Fontaine

PEP 452 API for Cryptographic Hash Functions v2.0
by Christian Heimes Aug. 15, 2013

Aug. 15, 2013

Hello, I have written a revised version of PEP 247. It's heavily based on AMKs original version from 2001. Version 2.0 adds ``name`` and ``block_size`` as mandatory attributes. It defines that hashing objects operate only on byte-like objects in Python 3.x, too. I have also developed an abstract base class for cryptographic hashing algorithm [1]. Should I add it to the PEP and make it mandatory for Python 3.4+? Regards, Christian [1] http://bugs.python.org/issue18742

Guidance regarding tests for the standard lib
by Steven D'Aprano Aug. 14, 2013

Aug. 14, 2013

Hi, I have raise a tracker item and PEP for adding a statistics module to the standard library: http://bugs.python.org/issue18606 http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0450/ and I'm about to submit a patch containing my updated code and tests, but I've run into a problem with testing. My existing tests use unittest, and follow the basic boilerplate documented here: http://docs.python.org/3/library/test.html and when run directly they pass, but when I try to run them using Python 3.4a -m test -j3 they break. My question is, is it acceptable to post the code and tests to the tracker as-is, and ask for a pronouncement on the PEP first, and then fix the test breakage later? If not, can somebody mentor me in understanding what I need to do here? To avoid all doubt, the tests pass if I call them like this: ./python Lib/test/test_statistics.py but raise errors when I call them like this: ./python -m test -j3 Thanks in advance, -- Steven

SSL issues in Python stdlib and 3rd party code
by Christian Heimes Aug. 13, 2013

Aug. 13, 2013

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello, last week Ryan Sleevi of the Google Chrome Security Team has informed us about about two issues in Python's SSL module. I already new about the cause of the first bug and suspected that our SSL module suffers from the second bug but I was unable to prove it. Both issues are security issues but their impact is limited if you trust only trustworthy root certification authorities. Any decent root CA would should not sign a malicious cert with NULL bytes in a subjectAltName dNSName field or with wildcards like *.*.com. By the way if you are using the cacert.pem from curl, please update your bundle ASAP. I have found a bug in its Mozilla certdata parser, too. bug #1: ssl.match_hostname() wildcard matching - ---------------------------------------------- ssl.match_hostname() doesn't implement RFC 6125 wildcard matching rules. Affected versions: - - Python 3.2 (< 3.2.5) - - Python 3.3 (< 3.3.3) - - Python 3.4a1 - - requests < 1.2.3 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests - - backports.ssl_match_hostname (<3.2a3) https://pypi.python.org/pypi/backports.ssl_match_hostname/ - - urllib3 < 1.6 https://github.com/shazow/urllib3 Bug reports: http://bugs.python.org/issue17997 https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/1528 https://bitbucket.org/brandon/backports.ssl_match_hostname/issue/2/match_ho… Patch: http://bugs.python.org/issue17997 has a preliminary patch. The handling of IDN A-labels is still a bit controversial, though. bug #2 failure to handle NULL bytes in subjectAltName - ----------------------------------------------------- It's basically the same issue as CVE-2013-4073. Python uses GENERAL_NAME_print() to turn a GERNAL_NAME entry into a C string. But GENERAL_NAME_print() doesn't handle embedded NULL bytes in ASN1_STRINGs correctly. You can read more about the issue at http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2013/06/27/hostname-check-bypassing-vulner… Affected versions: - - Python 2.6 (< 2.6.8) - - Python 2.7 (< 2.7.5) - - Python 3.2 (< 3.2.5) - - Python 3.3 (< 3.3.3) - - Python 3.4a1 - - PyOpenSSL < 0.13 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyOpenSSL - - eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution with PyOpenSSL < 0.13 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/M2Crypto - - M2Crypto < 0.21.1 http://www.egenix.com/products/python/pyOpenSSL/ Bug report: http://bugs.python.org/issue18709 Patches: http://bugs.python.org/issue18709 has patches for 2.7, 3.3 and default https://code.launchpad.net/~heimes/pyopenssl/pyopenssl/+merge/179673 Jean-Paul Calderone is going to release 0.13.1 soonish. It's going to contain just my fix for the issue. Marc-Andre Lemburg will build a new version of eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution shortly after. I'm not going to work on a patch for M2Crypto as I don't understand SWIG. I have contacted Heikki Toivonen for M2Crypto but haven't heard back from him yet. related issue: Mozilla's certdata.txt and CKT_NSS_MUST_VERIFY_TRUST - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Recently I found bugs in curl's mk-ca-bundle.pl script, its cacert.pem and in the CA bundle of eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution. Both failed to handle a new option in Mozilla's certdata.txt database correctly. As a consequence the root CA bundles contained additionally and untrustworthy root certificates. I'm not sure about the severity of the issue. Curl has already fixed its script week ago. Marc-Andre Lemburg is going to release a new distribution very soon. https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/51f0b798fa http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html Background information: https://www.imperialviolet.org/2012/01/30/mozillaroots.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2012/11/msg00411.html http://p11-glue.freedesktop.org/doc/storing-trust-policy/storing-trust-exis… I like to thank Ryan Sleevi (Google), Chris Palmer (Google), Marc-Andre Lemburg (eGenix.com, Python core dev), Jean-Paul Calderone (PyOpenSSL), Antoine Pitrou (Python core dev), Daniel Stenberg (curl), Günter Knauf (curl) and everybody else who was involved in reporting and fixing these issues.
