[New-bugs-announce] [issue31339] [2.7] time.asctime() buffer overflow for year > 9999 using mucl (C library)

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

Attached PR backports (and adapts) the _asctime() function from the master branch to Python 2.7, so time.asctime() and time.ctime() don't call asctime() and ctime() functions of the external C library, but use portable and safe C code.
