[issue27538] Segfault on error in code object checking

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

If you construct a code object with user input without a checking, the segfault is the least of your problems. The user can inject a code that formats your hard disk or steals your passwords. It is impossible to write general checker that accepts all legitimate bytecode, but rejects malicious bytecode.
