BIT-libpython-2026-3298: Out-of-bounds write in Windows asyncio.ProacterEventLoop.sock_recvfrom_into() when using nbytes
Published Apr 21, 2026
·Updated
The method "sockrecvfrominto()" of "asyncio.ProacterEventLoop" (Windows only) was missing a boundary check for the data buffer when using nbytes parameter. This allowed for an out-of-bounds buffer write if data was larger than the buffer size. Non-Windows platforms are not affected.
