I've signed the CLA. Let me know if a NEWS entry is required. I'm not sure it is, especially since there was already a previous change that this is a fix to. |

Can you add a NEWS entry please? It's still worth to mention that we fixed more crashes.

bytearray's
__setitem__
implementation currently grabs a reference to its internal buffer before calling_getbyvalue
to determine the index that needs assignment._getbyvalue
can call into arbitrary python code via__index__
dunders, which could alter the internal buffer and leave said reference dangling.A prior fix for this issue ensures that bounds checking occurs after
_getbyvalue
is called. However, python code is capable of resizing the bytearray, resulting in limited but still broken behavior.This patch ensures that the reference to the internal buffer is fetched only after
_getbyvalue
is called to prevent it from being held while any python code is run.__index__
