New submission from Christian Heimes:
Unpickler_set_memo() crashes when the unpickler's memo attribute is set to a
dict with negative numbers. The descriptor uses _Unpickler_MemoPut() which uses
the dict key as index to a C array.
Python 3.3.0 (v3.3.0:bd8afb90ebf2, Feb 8 2013, 00:38:29)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys, pickle
>>> p = pickle.Unpickler(sys.stdin)
>>> p.memo = {-1: None}
segfault
The issue was found be Coverity Scan:
CID 486776 (#1 of 1): Improper use of negative value (NEGATIVE_RETURNS)
negative_returns: Passing variable "idx" to a parameter that cannot be negative.
5955 if (_Unpickler_MemoPut(self, idx, value) < 0)
