[New-bugs-announce] [issue26102] access violation in PyErrFetch if tcur==null in PyGILState_Release

[Christian Berger]

New submission from Christian Berger:

I've been messing with PyGILState_... handling for my embedded python interpreter and came across this issue:

code in PyGILState_Release:

    PyThreadState *tcur = (PyThreadState *)PyThread_get_key_value(
                                                            autoTLSkey);
    if (tcur == NULL)
        Py_FatalError("auto-releasing thread-state, "
                      "but no thread-state for this thread");

The Py_FatalError() call will then invoke PyErr_Fetch() which won't check if PyThreadState_GET() returns a valid ptr (!= NULL):

PyErr_Fetch(PyObject **p_type, PyObject **p_value, PyObject **p_traceback)
{
    PyThreadState *tstate = PyThreadState_GET();
    *p_type = tstate->curexc_type;
