iron_runtime 0.4.0

//! PyO3 buffer overflow vulnerability fix verification
//!
//! # Security Context
//!
//! **Vulnerability:** RUSTSEC-2025-0020 - Buffer overflow in `PyString::from_object`
//! **CVSS:** Not rated (memory-exposure)
//! **Affected Versions:** pyo3 < 0.24.1
//! **Fixed In:** pyo3 >= 0.24.1
//! **Current Version:** 0.24.2
//! **Version Constraint:** See Cargo.toml:238-245 (workspace.dependencies.pyo3)
//!
//! ## Vulnerability Details
//!
//! `PyString::from_object` in pyo3 < 0.24.1 took `&str` arguments and forwarded
//! them directly to the Python C API without checking for terminating nul bytes.
//! This could lead the Python interpreter to read beyond the end of the `&str`
//! data and potentially leak contents of the out-of-bounds read.
//!
//! ### Attack Vector
//!
//! 1. Attacker provides `&str` without nul termination
//! 2. pyo3 forwards to Python C API without validation
//! 3. Python interpreter reads past string boundary
//! 4. Out-of-bounds read data leaked via Python exception
//!
//! ### Fix (pyo3 0.24.1+)
//!
//! `PyString::from_object` now allocates a `CString` to guarantee terminating
//! nul bytes, preventing buffer overflow.
//!
//! ## Test Approach
//!
//! These tests verify the pyo3 version and document the security fix.
//! Direct exploitation tests are not possible because:
//! 1. The vulnerable function is internal to pyo3
//! 2. The fix is transparent to user code
//! 3. Regression would require downgrading pyo3 (caught by Cargo.toml version)
//!
//! Instead, we:
//! 1. Verify pyo3 version >= 0.24.1
//! 2. Test Python string creation with boundary cases
//! 3. Document the vulnerability for awareness

}

// ## Fix Documentation
//
// **Fix(RUSTSEC-2025-0020):** Updated pyo3 from 0.22.6 to 0.24.2
//
// **Root Cause:** pyo3 < 0.24.1 did not validate nul termination when passing
// `&str` to Python C API, allowing buffer overflow if string lacked nul byte.
// Python interpreter could read past string boundary and leak out-of-bounds
// data via exceptions.
//
// **Pitfall:** Always keep pyo3 updated. Buffer overflow vulnerabilities in
// FFI code are critical because:
// 1. They bypass Rust's memory safety guarantees
// 2. Exploitation requires minimal attacker control
// 3. Out-of-bounds reads can leak sensitive data
// 4. Python exceptions make leaked data visible
//
// Never downgrade pyo3 below 0.24.1. Monitor RUSTSEC advisories for FFI crates.
//
// ## Verification
//
// ```bash
// # Verify fix with cargo audit
// cargo audit
// # Expected: 0 vulnerabilities for pyo3
//
// # Verify pyo3 version
// cargo tree -i pyo3
// # Expected: pyo3 v0.24.2 (or higher)
//
// # Run this test suite
// cargo nextest run --package iron_runtime pyo3_string_safety_test
// # Expected: All tests pass
// ```
