[issue41189] An exploitable segmentation fault in _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily <nad at python.org> added the comment:

If users have unrestricted access to the interpreter, there are easier ways to crash Python than with modified byte code, for example, as is documented with ctypes. As noted on the Python Security Team web page (https://www.python.org/dev/security/): "If you can already execute Python code, there are far worse things you can do than provoke a use-after-free or an interpreter crash."
