Abstract
Security vulnerabilities receive huge publicity but also significant secrecy. In this session, we will walk through some of the biggest issues of the last few years from the perspective of a member of the Python Security Response Team. You'll learn how we work to protect all CPython users, how you can help, and how you can help protect yourself from malicious attackers.
TalkSecurity
Description
In this session, you'll learn about recent security issues in CPython and the core parts of our ecosystem. You'll hear about the process by which they were filed, how they were reviewed, analysed, shared (when appropriate), resolved and ultimately disclosed to the public.
As well as real stories of security vulnerabilities, you'll learn how you can help by responsibly reporting potential issues, and how to protect yourself against common risks, as well as the best ways to find out about major issues and how to respond.
