In [1]: import re

In [2]: b = bytearray(b'A'*100)

In [3]: m = re.search(b'A*', b)

In [4]: m.group()
Out[4]: b'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'

In [5]: del b[:]

In [6]: m.group()
Out[6]: b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x08\x9a\xc4\xb2i\x7f\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'

I will attach the patch shortly.

Thank you for your patch WGH. It is correct and fixes out-of-bounds buffer access. But I don't know what would be the better solution: silently adjust indices or raise RuntimeError?
msg286985 - (view) Author: WGH (WGH) Date: 2017-02-04 20:06
Python 2.7 (CPython and PyPy) and also PyPy's Python 3 adjust the indices, like my patch does, if that matters.

Ah, this is good reason. The patch LGTM.
