The current set of tests are at https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/0353b4eaaf451ad463ce7eb3074f6b62d332f401/Lib/test/test_http_cookiejar.py#L406 . A simple set of tuple that can be added based on the report as below : 

("http://barfoo.com", ".foo.com", False)
("http://barfoo.com", "foo.com", False) # Fails on master

The check is done at https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/0353b4eaaf451ad463ce7eb3074f6b62d332f401/Lib/http/cookiejar.py#L1176 . There is no check to add '.' before domain if absent. Hence it performs a substring match with the values req_host = ".barfoo.com" and erhn = ".barfoo.com" and domain = "foo.com" so the condition `not (req_host.endswith(domain) or erhn.endswith(domain))` fails and doesn't return False. I would suggest adding a check to make sure domain also starts with '.' similar to req_host and erhn thus fixing the issue. I tried the fix and existing tests along with the reported case works fine.

Also tried the script attached in the report

$ cat ../backups/bpo35121.py

import urllib
from http.cookiejar import DefaultCookiePolicy

policy = DefaultCookiePolicy()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://xxxfoo.co.jp/')
print(policy.domain_return_ok('foo.co.jp', req))

# without fix

$ ./python.exe ../backups/bpo35121.py
True

# With domain fix

$ ./python.exe ../backups/bpo35121.py
False

The check was added in 2004 with commit 2a6ba9097ee3942ae328befaf074ce9722b93ca0 . If my fix is correct I am willing to raise a PR for this with test.

Hope it helps!
