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
- activating threads, tasks or pico-threads
- Directed termination of threads, tasks or pico-threads
- Premature termination of threads, tasks or pico-threads
- Concurrent access to data shared between threads, tasks or pico-threads, and
- 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 at maurya.on.ca <mailto:stephen.michell at maurya.on.ca> to respond directly.
Thank you
