Advisories for Pypi/Anyio package

Services using internationalized (non-ASCII) domain names are potentially vulnerable to TLS connections made from AnyIO's connect_tcp() or directly via TLSStream.wrap() where the connection has (through other means) been hijacked and redirected to a malicious server. The attacker would obtain a legitimate certificate using the IDNA 2003 encoded version of the domain name and offer it to the connecting client, making the certificate validate properly on the client's end.

AnyIO 4.14.0 accepts the POSIX extra_groups argument on anyio.run_process() and anyio.open_process(), but open_process() forwards the wrong variable to the backend: when extra_groups is not None, it assigns kwargs["extra_groups"] = group instead of extra_groups. As a result, callers cannot reliably clear or set supplementary groups for child processes. In a disposable Linux container, Python's subprocess.run(…, extra_groups=[]) clears a synthetic parent supplementary group list, while anyio.run_process(…, extra_groups=[]) preserves the parent groups. If …

AnyIO starts process-pool workers with stderr connected to a pipe but never drains that pipe. The worker redirects stdin and stdout to /dev/null to protect its protocol, but does not redirect stderr even though the documentation says all three standard streams are redirected. Worker code that writes enough attacker-influenced data to stderr can fill the pipe, block before returning the stdout protocol response, and wedge the awaiting process-pool call. Anyone …
