(original) (raw)

I am looking for one or two experts to discuss with me how Python concurrency features fit together, and possible vulnerabilities associated with that.

TR 24772 lists 5 vulnerabilities associated with

1\. activating threads, tasks or pico-threads

2\. Directed termination of threads, tasks or pico-threads

3\. Premature termination of threads, tasks or pico-threads

4\. Concurrent access to data shared between threads, tasks or pico-threads, and

5\. Lock protocol errors for concurrent entities

I need to document how these appear (or don’t appear) in Python. The writeups would possibly swamp this email reflector, so I am looking for a small number of people to review these sections of our language-independent document and discuss with me how these are handled in Python.

I have a good background in these issues, but no relevant experience with Python.

Please contact me at stephen.michell@maurya.on.ca to respond directly.

Thank you
