bpo-39073: validate Address parts to disallow CRLF (GH-19007) (#19224)
Disallow CR or LF in email.headerregistry.Address arguments to guard against header injection attacks.
(cherry picked from commit 614f17211c5fc0e5b828be1d3320661d1038fe8f)
The AbstractBasicAuthHandler class of the urllib.request module uses
an inefficient regular expression which can be exploited by an
attacker to cause a denial of service. Fix the regex to prevent the
catastrophic backtracking. Vulnerability reported by Ben Caller
and Matt Schwager.
AbstractBasicAuthHandler of urllib.request now parses all
WWW-Authenticate HTTP headers and accepts multiple challenges per
header: use the realm of the first Basic challenge.

bpo-38804: Fix REDoS in http.cookiejar (GH-17157) (#17343)
The regex http.cookiejar.LOOSE_HTTP_DATE_RE was vulnerable to regular
expression denial of service (REDoS).
LOOSE_HTTP_DATE_RE.match is called when using http.cookiejar.CookieJar
to parse Set-Cookie headers returned by a server.
Processing a response from a malicious HTTP server can lead to extreme
CPU usage and execution will be blocked for a long time.
The regex contained multiple overlapping \s* capture groups.
Ignoring the ?-optional capture groups the regex could be simplified to
\d+-\w+-\d+(\s*\s*\s*)$
Therefore, a long sequence of spaces can trigger bad performance.
class Handler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
def do_GET(self):
self.log_request(204)
self.send_response_only(204) GH- Don't bother sending Server and Date
n_spaces = (
int(self.path[1:]) GH- Can GET e.g. /100 to test shorter sequences
if len(self.path) > 1 else
65506 GH- Max header line length 65536
)
value = make_set_cookie_value(n_spaces)
for i in range(99): GH- Not necessary, but we can have up to 100 header lines
self.send_header("Set-Cookie", value)
self.end_headers()
if __name__ == "__main__":
HTTPServer(("", 44020), Handler).serve_forever()
This server returns 99 Set-Cookie headers. Each has 65506 spaces.
Extracting the cookies will pretty much never complete.
Vulnerable client using the example at the bottom of
https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.cookiejar.html :
import http.cookiejar, urllib.request
cj = http.cookiejar.CookieJar()
opener = urllib.request.build_opener(urllib.request.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))
r = opener.open("http://localhost:44020/")
The popular requests library was also vulnerable without any additional
options (as it uses http.cookiejar by default):
If we regress, this test will take a very long time.
* Improve performance of http.cookiejar.ISO_DATE_RE
A string like
"444444" + (" " * 2000) + "A"
could cause poor performance due to the 2 overlapping \s* groups,
although this is not as serious as the REDoS in LOOSE_HTTP_DATE_RE was.

bpo-37461: Fix infinite loop in parsing of specially crafted email headers (GH-14794) (GH-14817)
Some crafted email header would cause the get_parameter method to run in an
infinite loop causing a DoS attack surface when parsing those headers. This
patch fixes that by making sure the DQUOTE character is handled to prevent
going into an infinite loop.

Fix infinite loop in email folding logic (GH-12732) (GH-14799)
As far as I can tell, this infinite loop would be triggered if:
1. The value being folded contains a single word (no spaces) longer than
max_line_length
2. The max_line_length is shorter than the encoding's name + 9
characters.
Under some conditions the earlier fix for bpo-18075, "Infinite recursion
tests triggering a segfault on Mac OS X", now causes failures on macOS
when attempting to change stack limit with resource.setrlimit
resource.RLIMIT_STACK, like regrtest does when running the test suite.
The reverted change had specified a non-default stack size when linking
the python executable on macOS. As of macOS 10.14.4, the previous
code causes a hard failure when running tests, although similar
failures had been seen under some conditions under some earlier
systems. Reverting the change to the interpreter stack size at link
time helped for release builds but caused some tests to fail when
built --with-pydebug. Try the opposite approach: continue to build
the interpreter with an increased stack size on macOS and remove
the failing setrlimit call in regrtest initialization. This will
definitely avoid the resource.RLIMIT_STACK error and should have
no, or fewer, side effects.

bpo-35257: fix broken BLDSHARED - needs LDFLAGS too (GH-11297) (GH-11299)
`BLDSHARED` needs to have both `LDFLAGS` and `LDFLAGS_NODIST`, not just `LDFLAGS_NODIST`; `PY_CORE_LDFLAGS` provides both. For example, as it stands now with just `LDFLAGS_NODIST`, macOS universal builds are broken as the necessary `-arch` flags are no longer passed to the standard library extension module link step from `setup.py` resulting in extension modules being single architecture only.
When compiling 3rd party C extensions, the linker flags used by the
compiler for the interpreter and the stdlib modules, will get
leaked into distutils. In order to avoid that, the PY_CORE_LDFLAGS
and PY_LDFLAGS_NODIST are introduced to keep those flags separated.
