GHSA-36hh-v3qg-5jq4
PyO3 0.24.0 added optimized implementations of `Iterator::nth` and `DoubleEndedIterator::nth_back` for the `BoundListIterator` and `BoundTupleIterator` types. These implementations computed the target index using unchecked `usize` addition (`index + n`) before bounds-checking against the sequence length, then read the element via `get_item_unchecked`. In `nth` methods, a sufficiently large `n` (combined with a non-zero internal index) could cause the addition to overflow and wrap around, producing a small "target index" that passed the bounds check and enabling reads at the front of the `list` or `tuple` of elements previously yielded by the iterator. In `nth_back` methods, a sufficiently large `n` could cause underflow in a similar fashion, however would instead allow reads of arbitrary memory past the end of the `list` or `tuple` storage.
