New submission from yiyuaner <ygu...@gmail.com>:
In the file Objects/unicodeobject.c, we have the following code:
static PyObject*
resize_compact(PyObject *unicode, Py_ssize_t length) {
...
char_size = PyUnicode_KIND(unicode);
...
if (length > ((PY_SSIZE_T_MAX - struct_size) / char_size - 1)) {
PyErr_NoMemory();
return NULL;
}
}
However, PyUnicode_KIND may return 0 if the variable unicode has kind
PyUnicode_WCHAR_KIND, leading to a divide by zero problem.
The same pattern is also used without checking in function "static int
resize_inplace(PyObject *unicode, Py_ssize_t length)".
Here is the link to the code location:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Objects/unicodeobject.c#L1045
Should we add an explicit check on variable char_size before using it in
division?
