Did you file bugs for python?
- fulafel 10y agoThe marshal format used by pyc files is explicitly documented[1] to be unsafe, just a fast way to cache the compiled byte code to a .pyc file next to the .py source file. The Python VM is not a sandbox so there has been no need for an untrusted bytecode format. [1] see big red warning box at https://docs.python.org/3/library/marshal.html https://docs.python.org/3/library/marshal.html
- sokoowdevops 10y agoThat's true, but looking at crashes, the 'exploitable' marks some of them as exploitable, there are also heap errors. Might be an easy entry point to do... something ;) We did similar excercise a year ago with zpaq, and Matt and community was able to fix it so well that now you can fuzz it pretty much forever :)
- sokoowdevops 10y agoNot yet, currently sitting there with around 2000 unique cases and wondering how to do it efficiently.
