From 2daf6ae2495c862adf8bc717bfe9964081ea0b10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Georg Brandl Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 19:54:16 +0100 Subject: Issue #13703: add a way to randomize the hash values of basic types (str, bytes, datetime) in order to make algorithmic complexity attacks on (e.g.) web apps much more complicated. The environment variable PYTHONHASHSEED and the new command line flag -R control this behavior. --- Include/pydebug.h | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'Include/pydebug.h') diff --git a/Include/pydebug.h b/Include/pydebug.h index 0a31f5ba01..5969e44419 100644 --- a/Include/pydebug.h +++ b/Include/pydebug.h @@ -19,6 +19,7 @@ PyAPI_DATA(int) Py_DivisionWarningFlag; PyAPI_DATA(int) Py_DontWriteBytecodeFlag; PyAPI_DATA(int) Py_NoUserSiteDirectory; PyAPI_DATA(int) Py_UnbufferedStdioFlag; +PyAPI_DATA(int) Py_HashRandomizationFlag; /* this is a wrapper around getenv() that pays attention to Py_IgnoreEnvironmentFlag.
