Bugzilla Bug 216673

David Remahl (chmod007) writes on the upstream report:
The following test cases still cause bus errors with the patch applied:

import imageop; imageop.rgb82rgb('A'*(2**30), 32768, 32768)
import imageop; imageop.grey2rgb('A'*(2**30), 32768, 32768)

There is a patch on the python.org bug.

The attached patch doesn't solve the problem here.. I'll try to come up with a
better fix tomorrow as we wait for an upstream fix :)

You mean the POC still crashes Python even with the patch included? I did not
try to reproduce that myself.

Yes it does. imageop is removed in 3.0¹ and it's not built on 64 bit systems
because it's not Py_ssize_t safe.
I have no interest in fixing this and nothing depends on this module on the
tree. I say let's remove it or add a big fat warning to the ebuild not to use
it.

¹:http://bugs.python.org/msg66407

Please remove the imageop feature then, instead of printing a one-time warning.

python-2.3.6-r6, python-2.4.4-r13 and python-2.5.2-r4 don't build imageop on
32 bit as well.

Arches, please test and mark stable:
=dev-lang/python-2.3.6-r6
=dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r13

@Ali:
This might obsolete bug 211281, but as usual we will close the security bug
regardless whether arm&co are stabled.

dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r13 looks good so far.

Same error on python-2.3 on alpha/ia64/sparc

Same test fails for alpha.

I see the bsddb test failure on dev-lang/python-2.3.6-r6 but not on 2.4.4-r13.

In addition I see failure of test_pow (pow(-1, 1.23e167) throws an excpetion),
but that is no regression from current stable (2.4.4-r9).

Stable for HPPA.

Appearently pow() fails for all version of python on alpha and upstream is
aware¹ of that.
Disabled the test until upstream comes up with a fix.
