python: fix _json module arbitrary process memory read vulnerability
http://bugs.python.org/issue21529 Python 2 and 3 are susceptible to arbitrary process memory reading by a user or adversary due to a bug in the _json module caused by insufficient bounds checking. The sole prerequisites of this attack are that the attacker is able to control or influence the two parameters of the default scanstring function: the string to be decoded and the index. The bug is caused by allowing the user to supply a negative index value. The index value is then used directly as an index to an array in the C code; internally the address of the array and its index are added to each other in order to yield the address of the value that is desired. However, by supplying a negative index value and adding this to the address of the array, the processor's register value wraps around and the calculated value will point to a position in memory which isn't within the bounds of the supplied string, causing the function to access other parts of the process memory. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Peterson <benjamin@python.org> Applied to python-native recipe in order to fix the above mentioned vulnerability.
