Serhiy: "I don't think it is worth to add this vulnerability to the 
python-security website. You need to compile a 1 GiB Python file on 32-bit 
system for reproducing it. It is very unlikely that this can happen by 
accident, and it is hard to used it in security attack. If you can make the 
attacked program compiling a 1 GiB Python file, you perhaps have easier ways to 
make a harm."

I'm trying to keep track of all CVEs. People are scared by CVE numbers :-( But 
it seems like any bug can get a CVE number, without any real evalution of the 
severity of the bug.

I completed the description on python-security with your paragraph.

FYI I wrote python-security to make sure that vulnerabilities are fixed in 
supported Python branches. Here it seems like we forgot to fix Python 3.4 and 
3.5.
